    πŸ‘©β€πŸ« From IL Weaving to Source Generators, the Realm story

    Intermediate Language (IL) Weaving is a powerful technique that allows to greatly simplify the experience of developers using the .NET Realm SDK by hiding a fair amount of complexity from end-users.

    Working with a weaver, though, is tedious, error prone and the resulting code is a black box. These are some of the reasons that convinced us to migrate to Source Generators, a feature introduced in .NET 5 that allows to produce code on the fly during compilation.

    This talk will go through the reasons why IL Weaving was used in the first place, our long...

    In this meetup session, we’ll explore using Entity Framework (EF) with MongoDB. As C# developers, we’ll dive into the intricacies of mapping .NET objects to MongoDB documents and leveraging EF for data manipulation. Whether you’re working with MongoDB or EF, join us...
