Day 1: Aspire, Clean Architecture, C# Nullability, Messaging, Uno, Blazor TDD
summary
Day 1 shows concrete demos: .NET Aspire adds orchestration, service discovery and health checks to a two‑service app, swaps SQLite for Azure PostgreSQL (containerized for dev), wires Entity Framework client integration, adds OpenTelemetry and Polly retries, then replaces the learning transport with RabbitMQ and provisions infra plus CI/CD via Azure Developer CLI and an Azure Pipelines manifest — all enabling a one‑press F5 local dev loop and an Aspire dashboard for traces, logs and quick investigation. Also: ReSharper/IDE AI agents, Uno Platform with live hot design editing and Blazor TDD using bUnit and shouldly.
