- 1 .NET 10 and ASP.NET Core: Refinements That Matter in Production

.NET 10’s ASP.NET Core refinements are the kind that quietly improve shipping apps: security, observability, Blazor, and APIs.
- 2 Handling Time Zones & Dates Correctly in .NET

Date and time bugs are still a classic trap; this piece is a useful reminder to model time explicitly across regions.
- 3 Ef Core 10 Introduced LeftJoin and RightJoin

EF Core 10’s LeftJoin and RightJoin make common query shapes much cleaner, with less boilerplate around GroupJoin patterns.
Editor's note
I put together a mixed lineup this time: production-focused framework updates, data access changes, and a few hands-on optimization pieces. The .NET 10 ASP.NET Core article and the EF Core 10 join write-up stand out because they both affect real application code, not just release notes. I also liked the Redis and cache items for teams trying to squeeze more throughput out of existing systems.
