Episode 21 - Orleans with Russell Hammett
This episode will be published to Patreon supporters a few days ahead of the "regular" RSS feed - the patreon release date will be February 27th, whereas the release date for everyone else will be March 1st). So if you'd like to hear future episodes early, you can become a Patreon supporter.
In this episode of The .NET Core podcast we talk to Russell Hammett about what Orleans is and how you can use it to build high-scale apps, without the need to learn and apply complex concurrency or other scaling patterns.
As of sending this email out, the interview with Russell hasn't been released yet, but will be available on March 1th, 2019 at 12:30 GMT.

Some Recent Discoveries in The Community
Blazor is quite a hot topic these days
I've given several talks on it, and we had Ed Charbenau (of Progress Telerik) on the show talking about it, back in episode 5
but one of the biggest questions I've seen is:
what UI framework can you use with it?
Let me tell you about Blazorise: it's a front end components library fro Blazor apps, built on Bootstrap, Bulma or Material - take your choice.
K. Scott Allen is one of those names in the .NET space that everyone knows. Whenever he gives a talk, or teaches something, he is on point and always delivers top quality content. But what's even better than that is that he has open sourced his workshop materials.
Anyone can pull the GitHub repo and start hacking away with his workshop code. How cool is that?
