Microsoft’s .NET 11 preview introduces two‑year STS support, reduces reliance on the Mono runtime, promotes CoreCLR for WebAssembly and Android, adds Zstandard compression, and unveils C# 15 collection‑expression arguments, offering developers early access to significant performance and language enhancements.
The article explains the limitations of Spring MVC's blocking model, introduces Spring WebFlux's reactive, asynchronous, non‑blocking architecture, compares annotation and functional programming models, details core components and request flow, and provides guidance on when and how to adopt WebFlux for high‑concurrency I/O‑intensive applications.
This article, part of an async‑programming series, explains how Spring WebFlux’s non‑blocking Mono model can replace traditional Spring MVC blocking calls, presents common business scenarios, provides ready‑to‑use code templates, and demonstrates the performance benefits of reactive programming for high‑throughput Java backends.
The article traces the historical rivalry between Microsoft and open‑source communities, detailing how Java’s early promise led to .NET, Miguel de Icaza’s creation of GNOME and Mono, the rise of Ximian and Xamarin, Microsoft’s eventual acquisition, and the recent handover of Mono’s upstream to the Wine project.
Learn the fundamentals of Project Reactor’s Mono and Flux, including creation, subscription, error handling, and common operators, with detailed code examples and visual diagrams, enabling you to effectively implement reactive, asynchronous streams in WebFlux-based Java backend applications.
This article introduces Spring WebFlux as a reactive, non‑blocking web framework built on Spring 5, explains the concepts of reactive programming, compares it with Spring MVC, and provides practical code examples and guidance on when to choose WebFlux for Java backend development.
This article explains the fundamentals of Spring WebFlux, its reactive programming model with Mono and Flux, compares it to Spring MVC, and provides practical code examples for building non‑blocking backend services using Spring Boot.
This article introduces Spring WebFlux, explains reactive programming concepts, compares it with Spring MVC, and provides practical code examples demonstrating how to build a reactive web application using Spring Boot, Reactor's Mono and Flux, and functional routing.
This article explains the fundamentals of Reactor's reactive programming model—including Mono and Flux types, map and flatMap operators, asynchronous execution, scheduler choices, and error handling—while providing practical code examples to help developers efficiently use Spring WebFlux.
Wine 6.14, the latest version of the open‑source compatibility layer that runs Windows applications on POSIX systems, introduces a Mono engine upgrade to 6.3.0, a new 32‑to‑64‑bit thunk in WOW64 DLLs, expanded GDI system call support, and resolves 30 known bugs affecting games and professional software.
This article explains the fundamentals of reactive programming in Spring 5, covering concepts like reactive streams, backpressure, Reactor's Mono and Flux types, and provides practical code examples for controllers and data layers to illustrate the benefits over traditional blocking approaches.
Unity3D runs C# scripts by compiling them to Common Intermediate Language, which the embedded Mono virtual machine executes—mirroring the .NET CLR—allowing cross‑platform execution, while also supporting other languages compiled to IL, and illustrating the compilation pipeline from source to native code.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the .NET platform’s evolution, covering the original .NET Framework, its comparison with Java, the rise of Mono for cross‑platform support, the introduction of .NET Standard, the modern .NET Core and ASP.NET Core, and guidance on tooling and learning resources.
