Wow! It’s easy to take the rapid pace of technological advancement for granted, especially given how many of us have been tech-natives for most of our lives. For Mac lovers, Infinite Mac takes a trip across the decades of the 1980s to 2000s through the lens of releases. Experience history all in your browser. Draw an inspiring image in QuickDraw, play a round of Battle Chess, or build your utopia in Civilization and have some tremendous retro-nostalgic fun. Now, let’s get Rider and .NET running on these VMs. 😅

Welcome to dotInsights by JetBrains! This newsletter is the home of recent .NET and software development-related content.

🌟 Featured Content

You might have seen us tease a big announcement, and by this time, the cat’s out of the bag. We are happy to make JetBrains Rider and WebStorm freely available for non-commercial use cases. Non-commercial use applies to anyone learning new technologies, hobbyists who code in their free time, content creators sharing information on social media, and open-source authors improving the technological landscape. This is fantastic news for .NET, Game, and web developers. We hope this brings the joy of using JetBrains IDEs to more developers.

Check out the landing pages of the respective products to learn if your situation qualifies you for the non-commercial license.

We hope this change empowers developers everywhere to achieve their dreams and make it happen. With code.
