Orchard Core 1.7 released
Orchard Core is an open-source, modular, multi-tenant, and community-driven application framework built with ASP.NET Core, and a content management system (CMS) built on top of that framework. Its vision is to create shared components for building ASP.NET applications, and specific applications that leverage these components to meet the needs of end-users, content administrators, and developers. The community recently released the latest 1.7 version of Orchard Core with several new features and additions! There's a new SMS and SMS Notifications module that provides a way to send SMS messages and notifications to users using SMS services. And by utilizing the new two-factor SMS Method feature, you can also transmit a two-factor authentication code to the user via SMS. And yes, this means that starting with version 1.7, Orchard Core is shipped with everything you need to secure your app with two-factor authentication. The Lucene and Elasticsearch features are capable of searching within PDF files because PDF files are indexed by default. As an enhancement, we added a new feature called Media Indexing which extends the media indexing capability to also encompass searching within files with the following extensions: .txt, .md, .docx, and .pptx. And we have a lot more to cover! Here are all the details of the release: https://docs.orchardcore.net/en/latest/docs/releases/1.7.0/. Orchard Core is available as a NuGet package which you can easily add to your http://ASP.NET Core solution. Here’s how you can get started with Orchard Core: https://docs.orchardcore.net/en/latest/docs/getting-started/..NET Monthly Roundup - February 2023 - .NET 8 Preview 1, New VS features, and more!

NET Technical Test on hiring processes
Hi all! As Dev Lead in my current company I'm in charge of the hiring processes for new devs. Until now we had a traditional process having a conversation with HR, a technical interview and a technical test (in live), but we would like to strengthen a bit the same using some of the existing online tools that are on the market. I was thinking for instance in something like https://www.testgorilla.com/?utm_term=testgorilla&utm_campaign=&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=4932434860&hsa_cam=407248895&hsa_grp=1351300342509139&hsa_ad=&hsa_src=o&hsa_tgt=kwd-84456577807928&hsa_kw=testgorilla&hsa_mt=e&hsa_net=bing&hsa_ver=3&msclkid=3595ec5fcbc1156280bf885c66d7fe6e&utm_content=TestGorilla or similars. I was wondering how other mates in our community do that processes and if you use tools like this or not. What do you think? Have you used? Are they useful? Do them help providing a better process both for companies and candidates? If yes, which one you would recommend? Many thanks in advance 🙂
upcoming event: Orchard Harvest online
Dear Community Members, We are excited to announce that the next Orchard Harvest event will be held online this year!

For those who may be new to Orchard Core, Microsoft Orchard is an open-source content management system (CMS) and web application framework that allows developers to build websites, blogs, and web applications. It provides a modular and extensible architecture that allows developers to create custom features, themes, and modules to suit their specific needs. The online Orchard Harvest event will kick off on Wednesday, May 31st at 13:00 UTC, and we encourage you to register for the event right away at the following link: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/bfb311dc-5fb0-42d7-bcaf-b8b248f344bd@959ede5a-38e9-44e6-adc8-85553beb8220 In addition to the presentations and networking opportunities, Orchard Harvest provides a unique platform for developers, designers, and users to connect, learn, and contribute to the ongoing development of Orchard Core. We are eagerly looking forward to the day when we can resume in-person meetings, but for now, we hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to engage with the Orchard community online. We can't wait to see you at Orchard Harvest!.NET Monthly Roundup - April 2023 - .NET 8 Preview 3, C#12, and more!.NET Monthly Roundup
