Mono: from Xamarin to WebAssembly, Blazor, and .NET 5 - Q&A with Miguel de Icaza
Mono started as an open source .NET platform in 2001, being developed by Xamarin until 2011. Since the company’s acquisition by Microsoft in 2016, both Mono and .NET Core have been developed in parallel. In the light of the most recent releases, InfoQ interviewed Miguel de Icaza —the original author of the Mono project—to talk about the current state of Mono and its future in the .NET ecosystem.

Three Key Success Factors for Improving Test Automation Outcomes
Test automation is crucial in the DevOps world and vitally important even if not taking a DevOps approach, and good test automation requires careful thought and design from the architecture onward. Tests need to be fully automated, and that automation needs to be stable; no test cases should fail for reasons other than issues in the system(s) under test.

Why Visual AI Beats Pixel and DOM Diffs for Web App Testing
Visual AI breaks regions of pixels into rendered elements for comparison purposes, similar to how humans view web pages. As a result, Visual AI can compare any kinds of images on a page, providing a more effective mechanism for automated visual testing when compared to pixel and DOM diffing.

Functional UI (Framework-Free at Last)
Functional UI is a set of techniques which rely heavily on functional programming to develop user interface applications. While deceptively simple, functional UI techniques are surprisingly powerful. Functional UI directly reflects the application's specifications, allows developers to unit-test user scenarios, and UI frameworks become mere libraries. Framework-free at last!

A Bottom-Up View of Kotlin Coroutines
Recently coroutines have become popular as an alternative to Reactive Programming on the JVM. In many cases the costs of restructuring your code around functional operations for reactive streams outweigh the benefits, so coroutines have emerged, initially for Android, as an alternative solution. This deep dive explores how Kotlin's implementation works under the hood.

The Datum Data Binding Library
There has been an explosion of frameworks and libraries for making single page applications for the web. Angular, React, Vue and quite a few others have made it easier to develop on the web and helped fuel its growth as webapps have become more dynamic and interactive. Howeve,r there may still be room for other libraries and new ideas such as Datum, a new, simple data binding library.
