Let me start by saying that I love the combination of Htmx and ASP.NET Core, and it is a pairing that any .NET developer should consider, whether maintaining an existing application or building a new one. It’s very cool. I...
Folks working with EF Core are likely very fond of the library’s migration features, one of the most vital selling points for adopting an ORM. If you’re building a .NET solution, your database schema will evolve, and adding, removing, and...
JavaScript, for better or worse, has a much smaller standard library than what .NET developers are used to with the base class library (BCL). The JavaScript community has made many attempts to build a standard library, and I’m sure some...
The other day, I played around with the Fibonacci sequence and overflowed my int variables in surprisingly low iterations. Did you know you’ll overflow an integer in **48 ** iterations? Don’t believe me? Let’s take a look at the result...
If you’ve ever worked with reflection in .NET, you’re likely familiar with Activator. In .NET 6, ActivatorUtilities was introduced to make it easier to create classes with dependencies. Constructor dependency injection is common in the .NET space, and you’re likely...
The evolution of the C# language has introduced us to many new features and probably made a lot of folks re-evaluate how they write their apps. In the latest versions of .NET, nothing has been marked such a stylistic shift...
There are times on this blog when I write posts for the reader’s benefit and times when I need to memorialize my own pain and suffering to find a solution to a seemingly simple issue. This post is the latter....
Nullability provides developers with development-time warnings that can help reduce dereferencing issues. These errors can be costly, but with the power of a few additional checks in code, developers can easily avoid them, putting them in control of their code’s...
State machines are so integral to software development that they often seem invisible to developers. They are used so frequently yet abstracted away through APIs and syntax that many developers don’t directly deal with them. However, we’d like to.
I’ve been on a Rust learning journey lately, and it’s had me thinking about how I can consume Rust libraries from existing .NET applications. The .NET team has done much work regarding interoperability during the .NET 6 to .NET 8...
