Benchmarking Revisited: Is WCF faster than ASP.NET Core? Of course not! Or is it? Previously, I wrote an article about how I got triggered after somebody on Reddit exclaimed that WCF was faster had lower response times than ASP.NET Web API and ASP.NET Core MVC.
Benchmarking Is WCF faster than ASP.NET Core? Of course not! Or is it? How does WCF, a 13-year-old mega-abstraction framework hold up against the modern, lean, ASP.NET Core? You’d be surprised.
.NET Core PSA: Don’t change the assembly name for published NuGet packages Somebody published a new version of a NuGet package with a different assembly name. You’ll never guess what happens next.
DDD DDD Persistence: Recorded Event-Driven Persistence When you decide to implement your business logic by applying DDD, one of the things you’ll run into is ‘how do I save my changes?’ The internet is full of blogs and
C# Transitive NuGet dependencies: .NET Core’s got your back The other day, a colleague and I were looking into an issue with one of our solutions’ build pipeline. The main project was a ‘classic’ MSBuild project with a transitive NuGet dependency through
Logging Meaningful Logging and Metrics Pretty much any application needs logging. Except maybe the simplest of applications that do not require user interaction and only do one incredibly specific thing. Or applications that only interact via the console.
