 Do you write unit tests? Do you use Test Driven Development (TDD)? Dennis Doomen does. He started an open source project called Fluent Assertions thirteen years ago that now has over 100 million downloads and has been forked over 400 times. We talk to Dennis about how Fluent Assertions got started and how it has evolved over the years. Dennis is a big proponent of TDD so we talk through some of the positives and negatives of using the methodology. Unit tests are something that most developers want to incorporate into their workflow but can't for one reason or another. Join us for this episode and maybe Dennis will be able to help you get over that hump. Are unit tests part of your workflow? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.

How Fluent Are Your Assertions? - .NET 091

 A long time ago in a world very different from this one we had Mads Kristensen on the podcast. During our talk the topic of 64-bit Visual Studio came up and we thought it was probably years away. Well here we are with Visual Studio 2022 64-bit on the way. Mads comes back on the podcast to talk about the path to 64-bit and some of the interesting things they had to work through along the way. We couldn't have Mads back on the podcast and not talk about extensions so we find out how extensions will work differently in Visual Studio 2022. What is your favorite extension for Visual Studio?

 In this episode of Adventures in .NET we have a special guest join us to talk about pair programming. When you hear the term pair programming it may conjure up ideas like efficiency, learning, discomfort or maybe even that it is a waste of time. A lot depends on the (two or more) developers who are pair programming together. We look into different reasons why you might want to try pair programming and discuss some ways to get the most out of the practice. There are certainly pros and cons to pair programming but with the right approach it can be useful for you and your team. Have you done any pair programming? What did you think about it?

 Most developers we know are constantly learning new things and growing their skills. Jort Rodenburg has been a book reviewer for Manning for several years and was approached to write a book on C# which he thought would be a great opportunity to grow. His book, Code like a Pro in C#, was a great learning experience for him and is intended to help bridge the gap between beginner and advanced developers. We discussed the process of writing the book, some of the resources he used and his favorite chapter. What is the best way you have found to grow as a developer?

 Ron Dagdag, lead software engineer at Spacee, joins us to get interactive with Jupyter Notebook. It is an open-source web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and narrative text. Microsoft has embraced Jupyter Notebook with the open source .NET Interactive project. The more we discussed Jupyter Notebook the more ways we came up with to use it. For instance Ron uses it for a lot of his demos and you can share it with someone without them having to install anything because it runs in the browser. Do you have any ideas on how to use Jupyter Notebook? If so share it with us on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.

 Today we dig into security with Christos Matskas, program manager for Microsoft Identity. How secure is your codebase? How do you store your secrets? Often security takes a back seat to more pressing concerns during development but that doesn't have to be the case. We discuss several ways that Microsoft, .NET and Azure make it easier to secure your code. Even if you aren't using that stack, Christos provides examples of ways to make sure you don't leak sensitive information in your applications. Not every developer has to be a security expert but every developer should do what they can to make sure the application they are working on isn't a target for hackers.
