Using Project Orleans to Build Actor-Based Solutions on the .Net Platform
This article takes a look at Project Orleans, an actor model framework from Microsoft. Version 7 makes it a lot easier to get started with, as it builds on top of the .NET IHost abstraction. This allows us to add it to .NET applications in a simple way. On top of that it abstracts away most of the complicated parts, allowing us to focus on the important stuff, the problems we need to solve.

ASP.NET SPA Templates Proxy Changes from .NET 5 to .NET 6, .NET 7, and on
From .NET 6 the communication between front-end Single Page Applications (SPA) in ASP.NET and back-end .NET API was changed, with the SPA templates using the front end’s proxy solutions. A proxy for the development servers enables readable and debuggable code for both the front and back end, with the new approach resulting in a more independent back end.

Building Functional .NET Applications: a Guide for Choosing between F# vs C#
C# and F# are languages, each with growing user bases, that approach functional programming in fundamentally different ways. C# relies on object-oriented, imperative principles, and F# relies on functional principles. Some developers are using F# as a complement to C#, rather than relying on the functional capabilities that exist natively in C#.

Accessing .NET gRPC Endpoints from Anywhere via JSON Transcoding
JSON transcoding is a feature that has been added to gRPC in .NET 7. It allows gRPC endpoints to be accessible via a REST API, and it's much easier to set up than any alternative technology available at the time of writing, such as gRPC-Gateway and gRPC-Web.
