Entity Framework Core - Open Source

Having worked with .NET and Entity Framework before, it came to my interest that newest versions of .NET Core and Entity Framework are open-sourced projects. Entity Framework is a powerful tool used on modern patterns on the cloud, especially on Azure.

Entity Framework is entirely developed in C# and it allows your software to easily work with database data models on your code. It "abstracts" most of the code that would normally be required for data acessing and manipulation.

I find this project interesting because it is used on many enterprise companies and projects, including the company I worked my Co-op on, so I am very excited to be able to potentially collaborate with it and help improve Entity Framework, since it honestly made my life and the lives of my teammates easier.

Hacktoberfest #2 - UWP App Launcher

Image
For my second pull request I worked on a Windows application which I found very interesting since I could relate to the problem that it tries to solve. UWP App Launcher This app launcher is an alternative to the live tiles that Microsoft brought with the early versions of Windows 8 back in 2012 and still ships with its Windows products. Although enhanced nowadays, the live tiles are still the reason of headaches for some people who dislike them, plus, there is no alternative to this layout so users are made "hostages" of the system as it is. From the UWP App Launcher's creators: "The whole point of this project is to provide the best traditional home screen experience as possible for Windows 10 devices. Some people don't like Live Tiles so this is an alternative for them. Also, apps load faster when opened with this launcher." Below you can see the comparison between the App Launcher (left) and Windows Phone's native home screen (right):

MERN Logins - My 2nd Contribution

MERN Logins For this week's pull request for Hacktoberfest I have again helped to add a login method for the MERN Stack Project with PassportJs and Javascript, this week I've added support for GitHub's OAuth2 to it. The same pattern has been followed from the last contribution, since PassportJs makes things easier for authentication. Looking at the current status of the project I see that other contributors are adding the React front-end to it so hopefully we could see some progress as I would also like to collaborate with front-end development. Conclusion  Lately I have been trying to setup my new machine (switched from OSX) for .NET and C# development so I can contribute to larger projects that are of my interest but so far it has been a challenge, hoping to not have to clean install my OS this week. I found curious that most of these projects are using alpha versions of the .NET Core SDK, which I assume is one of the root causes of my problems trying to se

Release 0.4 - Winforms and Telescope part 2

Winforms So last time I talked about my first contribution to Winforms writing unit tests for a few classes, continuing working on the issue I've picked , and that ended up evolving a bit. What happened with the PR ? Some fixes were requested by the Winforms team , which were made by me but things got rather complex when I found out that the testing framework was unable to access some classes and methods required to test the classes to which I was writing the unit tests. After facing the problem mentioned above with access to classes within the Winforms project I made an extensive research about the frameworks and asked the expert team for help on how to proceed with it, and thankfully the team was super supportive and gave me a lot of information on how to go around this problem. After receiving this information I look forward to fix my tests and submit an updated PR to the project and keep working on the issue! My PR for R0.4 For my release 0.4 I wrote unit tests
