There are a lot of options out in the wild to add authentication to your application. While OAuth is among the most common, it isn’t your only option. Today I’ll show you how to accomplish Windows Authentication with React and .NET Core in a bare bones fashion.
Optional Route Parameters with Swagger and ASP.NET Core
According to OpenAPI 3.0 it isn’t possible. But what if you really want it to be? Do you have to just settle and allow your Swagger documentation to be wrong? I’m here to show you how to make optional route parameters with Swagger and ASP.NET Core.
Dependency Inversion Principle – Getting Solid with SOLID – Part 5
Software development has been around for a while. As technology advances so does the need to establish patterns and principles for healthy application development. We know one of those patterns as SOLID. The “D” represents Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) which is our topic for today.
Mocking IQueryable Extensions with Moq
Unit testing is the base level of the testing pyramid and thus a vital cornerstone of effective software development. In order to effectively unit test your code you should make use of SOLID design principles and mocking frameworks. That said, it isn’t always easy to accomplish such as mocking IQueryable Extensions.
Interface Segregation Principle – Getting Solid with SOLID – Part 4
Software engineering, like other trades, is something that can be done in many ways. Throughout the years people have established patterns and practices to help craft good software. One set of design principles we’ve been discussing is SOLID. Robert C. Martin coded the Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) which “I” represents.
How to Code Review Effectively
Modern software development is complex. New technologies emerge at a breakneck pace. Best practices, patterns, recommendations, and samples are a dime a dozen. Any team larger than one is faced with how to address differences in style, knowledge, and discipline. Perhaps one of the most important tools in your arsenal here is an an effective code review. Let’s look today at some ideas on how to code review effectively.
Liskov Substitution Principle – Getting Solid with SOLID ā Part 3
Software engineering principles and patterns help us craft good clean software. One such pattern is an acronym we know as SOLID. āLā represents the Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) which was coined by Barbara Liskov in 1987. Today I focus on Liskov Substitution Principle and how we apply it in modern application development.
Open/Closed Principle – Getting Solid with SOLID – Part 2
Software engineering principles and patterns help us craft good clean software. One such pattern is an acronym we know as SOLID. “O” represents the open/closed principle simply defined: “open for extension, closed for modification”. Today I’m focusing on open/closed principle and how it pertains to modern application development.
How unit testing made me a better developer
Developing yourself as a software engineer is important for progression. One tool you should incorporate in your arsenal is unit testing. What are unit tests? Why should I write them? What part do they play in my success or that of my software? Today I’m going to talk about how practicing this principle made me a better developer.
Migrating WCF to gRPC using .NET Core
Microsoft recently released .NET Core 3.0 and set the stage for WCF’s exit. .NET Core no longer supports “full framework” mode which effectively ends support for WCF as we know it. Our options for migration vary. Today let’s discuss one such approach I feel is a “low-impact” approach. Let’s look at migrating WCF to gRPC using .NET Core while still maintaining backwards compatibility.
