.NET成人礼 | 还记得20年前一起拖过的控件吗？
每一代人都有记忆里的味道。煤球炉、黑白电视机是属于父母的记忆。而“拖控件”式编程，启蒙了无数像我这样的80后（嗯，89也算80后）。 经典旧世 2000 年那个时候，上海这样的城市里也不是每家每户都有电脑，我家也没有电脑。我在学校经常听几位家里条件不错的同学说他们玩电脑的事情。CIH、千年虫等名词让我对电脑有着非常强烈的好奇心。而我第一次体验到计算机，是在我母亲单位的机房里。它是一台卧式机箱、15寸 CRT 凸面屏显示器的 Windows 95 电脑。 当时的微软对我来说就是神的存在。因为我认识电脑到使用电脑的一切几乎都离不开这家伟大的公司，它就像上帝一样开天辟地，创造了PC上的万物。Windows、Office、IE 这些当年几乎是唯一的主流产品。而微软的创始人之一比尔·盖茨也成了我的偶像。还记得当年，上海有个PC专题的电视频道，有一天该频道播放了比尔盖茨关于.NET战略的演讲，啥也不懂 …

Microsoft doesn't have a new build of Windows 10 to support the latest …

Migrate Azure Application Insights to ASP.NET Core 3.0
.NET Core 3.0 will be released at this month's .NET Conf conference, many of my friends, including me, couldn't wait to use the preview version to migrate our apps.
