Wondering how to build a Xamarin mobile application with Rider? In this blog post, our friends from Syncfusion explain how to do it using Syncfusion Xamarin Components. JetBrains Rider is a cross-platform IDE for consistent application development. Cross-platform is what most mobile developers are, targeting Android and iOS. Syncfusion Xamarin components include over 145 essential controls, like DataGrid, Charts, and ListView, for building powerful line-of-business Xamarin applications. In this post we’ll be using JetBrains Rider along with Syncfusion Xamarin components to develop a m

Today, we would like to share with you how MRstudios is using JetBrains Rider. They have a team of software developers, visual effects artists and 3D artists, working together to develop real-time 3D applications for the manufacturing industry. We spoke with Thomas Weiss, Technical Director and Co-Founder of MRstudios. Hi Thomas! Can you tell us a little more about yourself and MRstudios? I am the Technical Director and Co-Founder of MRstudios, a company I established with my friend Morten in Berlin in March 2016. In 2017, we incorporated the company in Prague. I have a Master’s degree in

Getting started with Rider for Unreal Engine is quick and easy. This video will take you through the initial steps, getting the app installed once you’ve registered and installed, and setting Rider as the default source code editor for Unreal. You’ll be introduced to the two main keyboard shortcuts that are the entry points to Rider’s advanced feature set, and see what Unreal plugins are required to get the most out of Rider, such as integrating Rider with Unreal Blueprints.

July brought some special events to computing history. IBM announced the Model 650 Computer in 1953. In 1968 Intel was officially founded - and since, IBM has been using Intel chips in their personal computers. Computing history would be much different, and probably a lot less useful without chips from Intel or influence from IBM. Fun fact: Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel is responsible for Moore’s Law. .NET news The .NET Foundation has opened nominations for its chair committee F# 5 and F# tools update for June Announcing .NET 5.0 Preview 6 Announcing Entity Fram

The Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern is inarguably a successful approach to building web applications. The design gained popularity in many tech communities, implemented in frameworks like Ruby on Rails, Django, and Spring. Since April 2, 2009, Microsoft has offered developers the ability to create MVC pattern web applications with the release of ASP.NET MVC. The approach leans heavily on the ideas of convention over configuration, and with conventions come ceremony. The ceremony can come with an overhead not necessary for less complicated apps. With the release of .NET Core 2.0, ASP.NET

At JetBrains, we make tools for developers, so we keep up with the latest trends and changes in the software development industry. We build many IDEs based on multi-platform software product lines for various programming languages. Our Developer Ecosystem Survey, which JetBrains runs yearly, aims to reveal the current ambience of the developer world.

Join us Thursday, July 9, 2020, 16:00 - 17:00 CEST (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT or check other timezones) for our free live webinar, How to stop worrying and adopt nullable reference types, with Andrey Dyatlov. Register now! Nullable reference types is a deceptively simple feature. While starting with it is as easy as adding a single ? mark to your source code, migrating large code bases has been proven to be a tedious and sometimes quite tricky task especially when complex code contracts and generics are involved. The presentation will quickly cover what benefits this feature brings to the t

We’ve only just started the EAP for Rider 2020.2, but it’s already got plenty of goodies for Unity development. For example, we’ve done a huge amount of work to reduce memory overhead when parsing your assets, and Rider will now find usages and show Inspector values of more types, methods and fields, even inside prefab modifications! But today I’d like to introduce a new feature that we’re really excited about, a feature that you never knew you needed, but we think you’re going to love! We’re calling it a “pausepoint” and it’s a special kind of breakpoint that doesn’t stop the debugger i

Version 2020.2 EAP01 finally brings dotMemory to Linux and macOS! For these systems, dotMemory is currently available only as a command-line tool. The tool is free and lets you take and save memory snapshots. To analyze the snapshots, you still need the standalone version of dotMemory, which is only available on Windows. What you can profile Here's the dotMemory compatibility list for Linux and macOS: (more…)
