Developer Digest Automapper Update, Native Mobile, Editors And JavaScript Dominates

Eat Sleep Code Podcast - A podcast by Telerik

Categories:

Ed and Brian cover the latest news in the development community including: Microsoft ends it's quest to include an object mapper. We'll look at all the ways you can build Native Mobile applications that look professional. Your favorite text editors battle it out for a place in our hearts. And JavaScript Dominates the Stack Overflow Developer survey. 01:00 EC: Let me start off with a quick update about our previous shows. We covered some issues where Microsoft was trying to come up with their own object-mapper utility to bundle with '.NET MVC and that would have been probably '.NETs' Core MVC. And most of you guys out there that build those type of apps are probably already using something called AutoMapper, so I invited Jimmy Bogard on the show to give his point of view on what exactly was Microsoft trying to accomplish with this and it turned out to be a really good show focused on app security and talking about what Microsoft's idea was. Microsoft actually decided to back off the idea and they're kinda closed on the issue for now, so it looks like they've kinda left things as is. The community provided a solution for the problem and they're just gonna leave it that way for the time being. So that discussion is over with anyway, but it made for some great content. If you wanna go back and listen to Jimmy on the show, that was last week's podcast. Like I said, there are some really great points in there about security, if you haven't caught it already. 02:19 EC: So on Developer Digest shows, we go through our weekly or bi-weekly newsletter and cover some of the topics that were discussed in the newsletter. Some of the articles we highlighted in the newsletter and just kinda give our opinions on what the content was like in those articles and our experience. So first up we have "Creating Your First Native Mobile App With Visual Studio." So this is an article by... Or an article series rather, by Rob Lawler, one of our developer advocates here and he's kinda showing the ins and outs of creating a native mobile application in Visual Studio using NativeScript. 03:08 BR: Yeah. It's a good series, it's pretty detailed. He has four parts of it, all of which are pretty extensive. So obviously, he kind of talks about other options, being Xamarin being the obvious choice if you're a Visual Studio developer, but he explains why you might wanna consider NativeScript and goes into detail on how to actually build an app from the ground up and I loved his idea for an app. It's a Bill Murray app...
