R1D13 Intro to C# and Getting Docker working with .NET Core and SQL Server for Linux
I signed up for the first of a three part course to learn more about C# on edX. I made it through module 1 already and was able to make it through writing a simple “hello world” style console app in C# with little trouble.
One of my favorite little bits of knowledge that I gained from the C# Intro course was the original name of C# was COOL.
The original name was COOL for C-like Object-Oriented LanguageI also made a little bit more progress on my work from yesterday trying to get ASP.NET Core working with SQL Server with Docker on Visual Studio for Mac. I ran into a couple hangups.
First, docker was complaining that it was not able to find any of the shared NuGet packages. I had to add /usr/local/share/dotnet to docker folders in order to get nuget to work.
I also needed to bump up the resources to get past an error saying sqlservr: This program requires a machine with at least 3250 megabytes of memory. in order to get SQL Server to run. It needs more than 3GB of RAM in order to start up.

I've written a number of times about what has become conventional wisdom – spread primarily by academics like Jonathan Haidt – that phones and/or social media are evil, and that they cause teenagers in particular to develop anxiety, depression, etc. and th...

If you missed it. I already described day one. Caffeinated and ready, we all gathered in the same spacious room as yesterday, but seated in new places as “suggested” by our captain. Some of us even remembered to move over the name tags we wrote yesterday t...
