The cloud changed IT forever. And then containers changed the cloud. And then Kubernetes changed containers. And then microservices usurped monoliths, and so it goes in the cloudscape. Here's help to sort it all out.
In the dynamic field of cloud computing, the architect's role is increasingly pivotal as they must navigate a complex landscape, considering everything from the overarching architecture and individual service configurations to the various trade-offs involved. Here's help.
.NET 9 is coming in November, so here is help in how to build and deploy a modern .NET 9 app using cloud and DevOps tools.
Blazor shook up the .NET-centric web-dev space several years ago with its new ability to create web apps using C# and .NET instead of primarily coding UI with JavaScript like most every other framework, and it has been steadily advancing ever since. Here's a look at using RazorComponents for app integration.
Chris Klug keeps seeing developers using Entity Framework, Microsoft's open-source object-relational mapper (ORM) for .NET applications, in less optimal ways.
Since its inception as an intriguing experiment in leveraging WebAssembly to enable dynamic web development with C#, Blazor has evolved into a mature, fully featured framework. Integral to the ASP.NET Core ecosystem, Blazor offers developers a unique combination of server-side rendering and rich client-side interactivity.
Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed distributed database that can be transparently replicated across regions while remaining highly performant and seamlessly scaling according to needs, making it great for applications of any scale.
Unfortunately, the exact number of AI Copilots unleashed on the world by Microsoft is apparently unknowable, like the value of Pi, beyond the comprehension of humans or machines.
PolyBase, a data virtualization feature for SQL Server, allows users to seamlessly query data from various external sources directly using T-SQL (Transact-SQL) without the need for separate client connection software.
In modern applications, data is being retrieved in asynchronous, real-time streams, as traditional pull requests where the clients asks for data from the server are becoming a thing of the past.
Learn the concepts important to monitoring applications and how to configure Azure Monitor and Application Insights to collect relevant data, alert you when potential problems occur, and report on that data in near real time.
Can advanced AI in Visual Studio 2022 turn the sophisticated IDE into a replacement for low-code tools that is suitable for non-coders to create business apps?
Story mapping, or user story mapping, is a powerful tool that helps software development teams visualize user journeys to prioritize work and ensure efficient development cycles.
At this point, Copilot for writing in VS Code is a mixed bag for me. It can offer completely accurate and helpful suggestions or it can write like Hunter S. Thompson on a bad acid trip.
Whether you're analyzing sales territories, monitoring environmental changes, or tracking the spread of diseases, geospatial visualization provides a holistic view that goes beyond mere numbers.
Wherein our intrepid editor serves as a test case for "ordinary business users" and "citizen developers" to slip the surly bonds of low-code and rise to more sophisticated development tooling with the help of Copilot/Chat.
What tech should a .NET coder use for a new Windows desktop app when presented with a dizzying array of options that include .NET MAUI, WinUI, WinForms, WPF, UWP, Blazor and so on?
The promise of writing one codebase and running it everywhere has never really panned out for developers. However, using XAML and .NET MAUI, you come much closer.
Securing microservices can feel like herding cats, and in the dynamic world of .NET 8 the challenge of ensuring robust security looms large as developers embrace the agility and flexibility of this cloud-centric architectural style, but here's help.
Team metrics date back to the waterfall days before Agile DevOps, Kanban, Scrum and all the rest, but they might not be providing the valuable information you need in the modern software development world.
