In this episode, Robert is joined by Jason Beres of Infragistics, who walks us through indigo.design, a platform for the visual design, UX prototyping and code generation of Angular apps. He shows how you can create designs in Sketch using a variety of pre-built UI components and patterns, share them with others on any device and then generate your app's code.

A bot is software that interacts with humans to do things like chat, make recommendations, book travel and more. This is the second of a two part series where Sam Basu shows us how to build bots.

A bot is software that interacts with humans to do things like chat, make recommendations, book travel and more. This is the first of a two part series where Sam Basu shows us how to build bots. What are the tools we use and how do they work? Once you understand that, you can think about how you can use them in ways that help your customers.

This is the last of a three part series where Robert is joined by Chris Woodruff who shows how to build ASP.NET Core Web APIs. In this episode, Chris goes deep into what developers should know when building real-world APIs. This episode expands on the first episode to discuss what best practices developers should think about before, during and after their API project. We look at how and why you should decouple your API from the domain and data logic in your solutions and why we should not use our Entity Framework Core entity models at the API endpoints.

This is the second of a three part series where Robert is joined by Chris Woodruff who shows how to build ASP.NET Core Web APIs. In this episode, Chris discusses what to do after building your APIs. He shows Integration Testing, a new testing framework from the ASP.NET Core team that will allow you and your team to test your APIs externally. Integration Testing uses our knowledge of unit testing but takes it to the next level.

This is the third of a four part series where Robert is joined by Phil Japikse to discuss unit testing. This series expands on the 2017 Unit Testing episode. In this episode, Robert and Phil cover the Moq framework. Mocking provides the ability to simulate an object. For example, you can test a call to a database without having to actually talk to it. The Moq framework is an open source unit testing framework that works very well with .NET code and Phil shows us how to use it.
