Between the SolarWinds hack, Microsoft releasing a working document detailing the problems with the .NET ecosystem, and a bouncy castle crypto vulnerability, it's been a busy week. Let's dive in and see what happened, shall we?

Xamgirl shows you how to implement Multi-binding in Xamarin forms blog posts on Xamarin are the programmer's equivalent of a gym membership. I read them, and I really want to pick up Xamarin forms; but then I have Ionic sitting right there and I just don't do it. I can just read the blog posts and learn Xamarin vicariously through that; right?

Telerik reminds you of 10 things you probably didn't know about Blazor Not covered on the list is that Blazor is the programming language for stoners; and it represents an underground attempt to make Mary Jane mainstream. Sign. I can't do it. I can't write satire about QAnon without it sounding completely nuts and completely plausible that someone thinks that all at the same time.

The team working on System.Text.Json details what's next. Given that Newtonsoft.Json is functionally stable and doesn't seem to be getting many more updates, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for teams looking for new Json serialization to use Newtonsoft.Json, and so we may as well embrace what Microsoft has created here.
And that's what happened last week in .NET. We're going to be feeling the effects of the Solarwind attack for years. The sheer patience involved in the attack coupled with the way that systems were compromised and how lateral movement occurred means that it could be quite a while before we know the full extent of the damage. And on that happy note, I'll see you next week; maybe. Depends on what sort of news comes out this week in the world of .NET. It being close to Christmas, probably not a whole lot.
