These days a .NET developer can create, test and deploy powerful software without breaking sweat. Writing a scalable, easily deployable performant ASP.NET Core microservice is easier than ever.
Why does one NGINX worker take all the load?Scaling up TCP servers is usually straightforward. Most deployments start by using a single process setup. When the need arises more worker processes are added. This is a scalability model for many applications, including HTTP servers like Apache, NGINX or Lighttpd.
The Configuration Complexity ClockWhen I was a young coder, just starting out in the big scary world of enterprise software, an older, far more experienced chap gave me a stern warning about hard coding values in my software.
C# - Make C# More Dynamic with HyperlambdaTraditionally, there have been just two types of programming languages: statically compiled languages and dynamically interpreted languages.
F# introduction for my coworkers A quick, dirty, and mostly wrong introduction to F#This is a quick introduction to F# some essential features we use in our project at work. I've written this for my coworkers with little to no experience in F# or functional programming to get them up to speed on the basics needed to read, understand and contribute to our projects.

Dr Kate Lancaster leads you through this extreme world with demonstrations along the way. http://bit.ly/RiSubscRibeWhen lasers were invented over half a c
The Absurdly Underestimated Dangers of CSV InjectionI’ve been doing the local usergroup circuit with this lately and have been asked to write it up. In some ways this is old news, but in other ways…well, I think few realize how absolutely devastating and omnipresent this vulnerability can be.
Floating point numbers made simpleBased on a great post by Fabien Sanglard, over at http://fabiensanglard.net/floating_point_visually_explained/, I figured I should add some more information about floating point numbers. The information is universally applicable to any programming language and comes in handy in many weird cases.
dotnet/coreclrWelcome to the Book of the Runtime (BOTR) for the .NET Runtime. This contains a collection of articles about the non-trivial internals of the .NET Runtime. Its intended audience are people actually modifying the code or simply wishing to have a deep understanding of the runtime.
