C# basics to .NET 10 runtime updates
A varied .NET roundup with beginner C# guides, .NET 10 runtime improvements, ASP.NET Core logging, security, Kafka, AI, and MCP.
Jasen's top three picks
- 1
- 2 .NET 10: Automatic support of TLS 1.3 on MacOS
anthonygiretti.com
Useful .NET 10 runtime and networking updates.
- 3 .NET 10: Streaming over WebSockets with the New WebSocket Stream API
anthonygiretti.com
Good practical ASP.NET Core logging walkthrough.
Editor's note
I put together a pretty wide mix this time: beginner-friendly C# primers sit next to deeper .NET 10 and tooling pieces. The TLS 1.3 on macOS and WebSocket stream API posts are the kind of runtime updates that quietly matter day to day, while the LoA and MCP articles go after more advanced app and identity scenarios.
