Securing Web Applications and APIs with ASP.NET Core 2.2 and 3.0 - Dominick Baier

ASP.NET Core and MVC is a mature and modern platform to build secure web applications and APIs for a while now. Starting with version 2.2, Microsoft makes big investments in the areas of standards-based authentication, single sign-on and API security by including the popular open source project Iden

Let's Talk HTTP in .NET Core - Steve Gordon

In the world of microservices (yes, there's that buzzword again!) and distributed systems, we often find ourselves communicating over HTTP. What seems like a simple requirement can quickly become complicated! Networks aren't reliable and services fail. Dealing with those inevitable facts and avoidin

When "Zoë" !== "Zoë". Or why you need to normalize Unicode strings

This is not another one of JavaScript’s oddities, and I could have shown you the very same result with code in almost every other programming language, including Python, Go, and even shell scripts.

A gentle introduction to multithreading

Modern computers have the ability to perform multiple operations at the same time. Supported by hardware advancements and smarter operating systems, this feature makes your programs run faster, both in terms of speed of execution and responsiveness.

Programming Quotes

There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.

Don’t Make Squirrel Burgers

Your manager comes to you and says “Hey, Joe. Let’s talk. I need to get a new system developed to keep track of our help desk calls. It needs to have a slick user-interface that is easy to navigate, it needs to be fast, and also we need integration with SAP.

Generating IDs in C#, 'safely' and efficiently

Recently I needed to find an efficient algorithm for generating unique IDs in a highly concurrent and low latency component. After looking at several options I settled for the algorithm used by the Kestrel HTTP server.

Asynchronous programming

If you have any I/O-bound needs (such as requesting data from a network or accessing a database), you'll want to utilize asynchronous programming. You could also have CPU-bound code, such as performing an expensive calculation, which is also a good scenario for writing async code.

Async/Await - Best Practices in Asynchronous Programming

These days there’s a wealth of information about the new async and await support in the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5. This article is intended as a “second step” in learning asynchronous programming; I assume that you’ve read at least one introductory article about it.

This Read-It-Later-list is just that, bookmarks of stuff I intend to read or have read. I do not necessarily agree with opinions or statements in the bookmarked articles.

This list is compiled from my Pocket list.
