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. In the .NET ecosystem, Quartz.NET provides a robust and flexible framework for scheduling such tasks. Let’s delve into what Quartz.NET is, why it is useful, and how we...

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,...

Explore the benefits and risks of using AI-generated code in software development and when and how to leverage it to stay competitive. Artificial intelligence (AI) has shaped numerous industries over the past few years, from automation and minimizing errors to boosting worker productivity. One key field that AI is revolutionizing...

One of the most used databases these days is PostgreSQL (aka Postgres). Its accomplishments include being the most popular DB [among professional developers] according to Stack Overflow survey of 2022, the database in all of the fastest TechEmpower benchmarks, and being the most advanced open source database (self-proclaimed). We’ll talk...

In software engineering, composition plays an important role in object-oriented programming. If you’ve come across other articles or videos I’ve put out about object-oriented programming, you’ll know that I try to push composition over inheritance as much as I can. This is strictly because I have seen overuse of inheritance...

Scheduling one or more background tasks is almost inevitable when building robust, self-sustaining APIs with .NET. A few packages have been around for years, such as Hangfire and Quartz.NET. ASP.NET Core allows background tasks to be implemented as hosted services. However, you might need something more customizable and lightweight with...

The JavaScript fetch() method is used to fetch resources from a server. It returns a Promise that resolves to the Response object representing the response to the request. The fetch method can also make HTTP requests - GET request (to get data) and POST request (to post data). Fetch also...

“What the hell was I thinking?!?” It’s 1:30AM and I am staring at a piece of code I wrote no more than a month ago. At the time it seemed like a work of art. It all made sense. It was elegant and simple and amazing. Not anymore. I have...
