Editor's note
I kept this issue deliberately mixed, which is usually where the most useful reading shows up. The ASP.NET Core rate limiting guide stands out for being production-minded instead of purely conceptual, and the C# memory safety post matters because it points to deeper language changes than a typical feature drop. There’s also a solid spread here across previews, legacy code realities, AI workflow tooling, and everyday C# fundamentals.

.NET 11 Preview 4 Roundup: MAUI, Blazor, EF Core, SDK and Runtime Updates
Useful if you want one pass across the latest platform changes without chasing separate MAUI, Blazor, runtime, and EF Core announcements.
C# 14 New Features Explained with Real-World Examples
Worth skimming to see which C# 14 changes feel immediately usable versus which ones are mostly syntactic cleanup.
Your Legacy .NET Code Works Perfectly
A familiar warning: code that still runs can still be the thing slowing delivery, testing, and modernization.
Agent Skills for Python: File, Code, and Class - Composed in One Provider
Not .NET-specific, but relevant for teams building mixed-language agent tooling and trying to structure reusable skills cleanly.
What were the limitations of early tools like Script#?
The title and summary don’t match cleanly, but vector database comparisons are still timely for .NET teams evaluating RAG infrastructure.
One of the more important reads here. Memory safety changes affect API design, unsafe code contracts, and long-term language direction.
Pragmatic Monads for .NET Developers
A good bridge article for developers who want the benefits of monadic patterns without wading through category theory jargon.
Skills in Claude Code - Reusable Prompts and Workflows
Interesting for developers standardizing repeatable AI-assisted workflows around code generation, review, and project automation.
.NET (OK, C#) finally gets union types🎉: Exploring the .NET 11 preview - Part 2
Union types have been a long-running wish list item, so it’s useful to see the design choices and tradeoffs in the preview.
Building a RAG store with Entity Framework
EF Core isn’t the first thing people reach for in RAG conversations, which makes this a practical angle for existing app stacks.
A useful new .Net feature for Processes
A narrowly focused feature post, but those are often the ones that save you from maintaining custom plumbing.
Mastering C# Delegates: The Remote Controls That Power Your Code
Solid refresher material. Delegates remain one of those core C# concepts that unlock cleaner eventing and extensibility patterns.
