In recent years the .NET Team has been heavily advertising ASP.NET Core as one of the fastest web frameworks on the market. The source of those claims has always been the TechEmpower Framework Benchmarks.| Dusted Codes
I am currently working on several micro services using the NancyFx framework with many projects sharing the same underlying architecture.| Dusted Codes
"Why", I love this word and it is probably my most favourite question to ask. It is also a curse at the same time, because if it is not followed by a satisfactory answer I can easily find myself in an unhappy situation.| Dusted Codes
Protecting against brute force attacks can be a very tricky task.| Dusted Codes
Today I wanted to blog about a little mistake which can easily creep into otherwise good TDD practices.| Dusted Codes
Font Awesome is truly an awesome library. It is widely used across many websites and has made a web developer's life so much easier!| Dusted Codes
.NET Blazor has been touted as a revolutionary framework that allows .NET developers to build interactive web applications using C# instead of JavaScript. It's mainly aimed at ASP.NET Core developers who want to build SPA-like apps leveraging the .NET ecosystem and a wealth of existing libraries and tools available via NuGet. It's Microsoft's latest instalment in an attempt to gain traction amongst frontend developers. With the recent release of .NET 8 Microsoft announced even more improvemen...| Dusted Codes
I had the privilege of attending GopherCon UK last week, and among the many captivating talks, one that stood out to me was "Structured Logging for the Standard Library" presented by Jonathan Amsterdam.| Dusted Codes
Last week I announced the release of Giraffe 1.0.0, which (apart from some initial confusion around the transition to TaskBuilder.fs) went mostly smoothly. However, if you have thought that I would be chilling out much since then, then you'll probably be disappointed to hear that today I've released another version of Giraffe with more exciting features and minor bug fixes.| Dusted Codes
This is going to be a quick but hopefully very useful tutorial on how to create a more complex template for the dotnet new command line tool.| Dusted Codes
Over the last couple of months I have been pretty absent from my every day life, such as keeping up with Twitter, reading and responding to emails, writing blog posts, working on my business and maintaining the Giraffe web framework. It was not exactly what I had planned for, but my wife and I decided to take a small break and wonder through South America for a bit before coming back for Christmas again. It was a truly amazing experience, but as much as travelling was fun, it was not great fo...| Dusted Codes
With the .NET Core ecosystem slowly maturing since the first official release this year I started to increasingly spend more time playing and building software with it.| Dusted Codes
If you run anything on Amazon Web Services in production then you probably know the AWS Service Health Dashboard very well.| Dusted Codes
When I started building this blog I kept things very simple in the beginning. First there was nothing but my Hello World blog post and only later when I had more content I added more features over time. It didn't take me very long before I had to think about minifying static content such as CSS and JavaScript files to speed up page load times for my readers.| Dusted Codes
Quick update on Buildstats.info. Two weeks ago I added CircleCI to the list of supported CI systems for the build history chart and last weekend I implemented a new badge for NuGet packages too.| Dusted Codes
ASP.NET has quite some years on its shoulders now. Fourteen years to be precise. I only started working with ASP.NET in 2008, but even that is already 8 years ago. Since then the framework went through a steady evolutionary change and finally led us to its most recent descendant - ASP.NET Core 1.0.| Dusted Codes
The quiet Christmas period is always a good time to explore new technologies and recent trends which have been on my list for a while. This Christmas I spent some time learning the latest ASP.NET framework, in particular how to run ASP.NET 5 applications on Linux via the CoreCLR and how to run a regular .NET 4.x web application via Mono in a Docker container. The latter is what I am going to talk about in this blog post today.| Dusted Codes
Yesterday, when I was browsing my blog on my mobile phone I discovered a small CSS issue on one of the pages. One of my recent blog posts had a horizontal scrollbar which shouldn't have been there. A page element caused an overflow, but it was not visible which element was responsible for it.| Dusted Codes
If you ever browsed a popular GitHub repository (like NUnit or Bootstrap) then you must have seen many of the available SVG badges which can be used to decorate a repository's README file.| Dusted Codes
Recently I upgraded my IDE to Visual Studio 2015 and made instant use of many new C# 6 features like the nameof keyword or interpolated strings.| Dusted Codes
In my last blog post I wrote a little crash course on RSA and how it works without looking into any specific language implementations. Today I'd like to explore the native implementations of .NET and the new RSACng class which has been introduced with .NET Framework 4.6.| Dusted Codes
With the rapid growth of the internet and the vast business which is handled over the web it is not surprising that security has become an inevitable topic for any software developer these days.| Dusted Codes
Last week I noticed a charge of ~ £20 by MSFT AZURE on my bank statement and initially struggled to work out why I was charged this much.| Dusted Codes
