Collection expressions are a new feature in C# 12.

It's a new syntax to create common collection values.

You can even inline other collections into a new one using the spread `..` operator.

With collection expressions, you have a unified way of creating new collections. You don't have to consider the concrete collection type you assign a value to.

Collection expressions make refactoring easier.
You can switch from a List to an array.
And everything will still compile.

What do you think about C# 12 collection expressions?

Are they a useful new feature or syntactic sugar?

I'm a fan of the new approach, and I'll start using it in .NET 8 projects.

Microsoft just revealed its secret project - .NET Aspire.

Here's everything you need to know. 👇

What is .NET Aspire?

.NET Aspire is an opinionated, cloud-ready stack for building observable, production-ready, distributed applications.

.NET Aspire helps with:

- Orchestration
- Components
- Tooling

Orchestration refers to coordinating and managing various elements within a cloud-native application.

.NET Aspire streamlines the configuration and interconnection of different parts of your cloud-native app.

It provides useful abstractions for managing:

- Service discovery
- Environment variables
- Container configurations

Without you having to handle low-level implementation details.

My favorite feature is the built-in Aspire dashboard.

You can use it to monitor:

- Containers
- Structured logs
- Applications traces
- Applications metrics

But there are even more fantastic things inside.

What about deploying an Aspire application?

NET Aspire applications are built with cloud-agnostic principles in mind.

This allows you to deploy Aspire apps across various platforms supporting .NET and containers.

With .NET Aspire (Preview 1), you can deploy to Azure Container Apps.

This is doable through a few simple commands using the Azure CLI.

I'm excited about the Aspire project and will create more content about it on my YouTube channel and newsletter.

With #dotnet turning on 20 years, I realized I've been using it for 19 years! First with SharpDevelop, then #visualstudio that leads me to #Avalon / WPF (thx @mitsufu), #Silverlight, #mvpaward (for 13 years), books and more! And it's still a pleasure to work with! #timeflies

@mhmd_azeez Have fun ;-)

After playing with #xamarinforms last time, now it was time to have fun with #SwiftUI to recreate #betclic app! A bit less polished (was new to it so needed to learn it but powerful!).
Love the fact that SwiftUI use the #MVVM pattern

Finally, I updated https://t.co/mXvMy9TsXm to support vs2022.

In addition, I updated how it searches for an assembly name from runtime/aspnetcore type name, so goto will work with https://t.co/AlB8imXtBB much better.
