Show Notes And keep in mind that, not to bash OWASP and the top ten at all because I'm a big fan of OWASP, but people always tell me like, "yeah, I'm OWASP compliant," and that's the biggest BS, to be honest. Because a top ten could not like, it should be an awareness piece and you should work from it. And there are better ways of dealing with that. But I think a security scorecard...

Welcome to season 5 of the award-winning .NET Core Podcast! Check that link for proof.
Hello everyone and welcome to THE .NET Core Podcast. An award-winning podcast where we reach into the core of the .NET technology stack and, with the help of the .NET community, present you with the information that you need in order to grok the many moving parts of one of the biggest cross-platform, multi-application frameworks on the planet.
I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Mike James about Avalonia and XPF. Mike is the CEO of Avalonia, and I wanted to talk about some of the things that Avalonia and it’s XPF offering solve. This meant discussing Avalonia’s competitors (Uno, Maui, and native apps), and talking about Avalonia’s lack of good quality documentation - this has been solved in the time since we recorded this interview (March 17th, 2023).
Along the way, we talked about open source development and some of the expectations placed on open source developers by both the community and the open source developers themselves. And make sure to stick around to the very end to hear Mike drop some software engineering wisdom when he tells us precisely how the team got a cross platform UI framework running on all of the Linuxes - the way they did it might actually shock you.
