In a previous blog post, I showed you how to use PostgreSQL in C# with Npgsql, Dapper, and Entity Framework Core. But if you’re going to use one of them, it’s probably a good idea to make sure you’re not choosing a library that has really bad performance. Or at...

Изменять код В процессе разработки программного обеспечения нет такого понятия, как «стагнация». Все, что вы разрабатываете сейчас — просто очередная версия компонента, который вероятно будет меняться в будущем. Изменение является самой распространенным явлением в мире разработки программного обеспечения и вам лучше принять это как факт. Рассчитывайте на возможные изменения всего,...

C# is a powerful programming language, widely used for software development across various domains. One crucial aspect of application development is dealing with PDFs, whether it's generating PDFs, extracting information from existing PDF documents, or manipulating PDF files. In this article, we'll explore five C# PDF generating libraries that every...

Clean Architecture in practice. Clean Architecture is a popular approach to building software applications. A Clean Architecture defines clear boundaries between different application layers, resulting in improved maintainability. In addition, Clean Architecture approach aims to keep the business logic independent of any specific external frameworks or libraries, making it easier...

In this article, you will learn: What is hexagonal architecture (or “ports & adapters” as this architecture is officially called)? What are the advantages of hexagonal architecture over classical layered architecture? What distinguishes hexagonal architecture from “clean architecture” and “onion architecture”? How are hexagonal architecture, microservices, and Domain Driven...

Introduction Creating a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) API in .NET 8 with an In-memory collection is a common scenario in web development. In this article, we’ll walk through building a complete .NET 8 Web API with a real-world use case. Prerequisites Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code (with .NET...

Long polling is a server-push technique used in web applications to efficiently update clients with new information. Unlike traditional polling, long polling keeps the request open until the server has new data to send. This method is beneficial when you want to reduce the latency for data updates without overloading...

Всем известно, что сроки, названные программистами, нужно умножать на два. Ушлые проджект-менеджеры ещё добавляют — «и брать значение следующего порядка». Т.е. при оценке программистом требующегося времени в один час, в план пишем два дня. Но для заказчиков (как внешних, так и внутренних) такая ситуация выглядит, как минимум, странной — получается,...

Background tasks are crucial in many software applications, and scheduling them to run periodically or at specific times is a common requirement.

Follow me on Twitter, happy to take your suggestions on topics or improvements. Introduction Many third-party feature flagging services are available, or your internal team could develop its own feature flag service. For those who prefer standardization, following the OpenFeature guidelines is also an option. However, none of these solutions...

Экстремальное программирование - молодая, но быстро развивающаяся методология разработки программного обеспечения. Она получила признание и широкое распространение благодаря ориентации на обычных людей, максимальному упрощению бюрократических процедур и обилию качественной литературы Что же такое eXtreme Programming: набор отдельных правил и методик или полноценная методология? Давайте попробуем XP "на зуб", не отрывая...

Feature flags, also known as feature toggles or feature flags, are a powerful technique used in software development to enable or disable specific features or code paths in your application without modifying the code itself. This allows you to release new features gradually, test them with a subset of users,...
