.NET 005: Xamarin with James Montemagno

There is a lot that goes into interviewing for a job, both for the interviewer(s) and the interviewee. The panelists talk about their experiences over the years from both sides. What questions should you ask? What shouldn't you ask? Should coding be involved or not? How many interviews should you expect to have at one company? Do you cast a wide net when interviewing or do you focus on a couple of companies? We discuss all of these questions and more. What advice would you give someone interviewing for a position?

In this episode we get the pleasure of picking the brain of the lead designer of C#, Mads Torgersen. Mads has been the lead designer for more than five years now and has worked on the language for over fifteen years. Our discussion covers multiple topics including the growth of C#, being backward compatible and how different languages incorporate ideas from each other. We also dig into the specifics of things like async/await, default interfaces and dynamics. On top of all that we get a peek at the future of C# and what we might see in the next couple of versions. What would you ask Mads about C# if you had the chance? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.

Wai and Caleb sit down to discuss how authentication is evolving and how it works in Blazor. Identity server is now Duende server and with that comes the Backend for Frontend (BFF) pattern. From an authentication persepective this pattern can benefit SPA's because of the way it handles cookies and tokens. Caleb is in the process of integrating a .NET 6 Blazor app with Identity server 4 (IDS4) and wanted to use BFF but it isn't an option. We discuss alternatives and how those alternatives might be viewed from the business and developer perspectives. Join us and find out where Caleb ended up on his authentication journey. Have you had to handle authentication in a Blazor app? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.

Have you ever used SignalR in your development? .NET might have used it for the code you wrote and you didn't realize it. Kevin Griffin has used SignalR for multiple projects over the years and joins us to discuss how you can use it in your development. SignalR uses a pub/sub model and is great for applications that need immediate feedback. Kevin used it for a city's emergency system to provide alerts to first responders within seconds of an emergency being recorded. Like most technologies SignalR can be problematic if used incorrectly. We get to hear a couple of stories where Kevin had to work to fix troublesome SignalR implementations. Have you developed applications that could benefit from using SignalR?

In today's episode Mohamad Lawand helps us try and grok gRPC. gRPC is a modern open source high performance Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework that can run in any environment. That description doesn't really demystify what gRPC can do so Mohamad helps us fill in some of the gaps. We find out how gRPC works in .NET, how it works with HTTP, how it is different from REST and some good use cases for using it in your applications. gRPC is used by companies like Netflix and Square and is supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Have you used gRPC in your applications? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.
