Invest in yourself – Time and Money

DateTime.AfterPost – DateTime.Now = 4 minutes The main reason I wanted to create this blog, like I wrote in the first post, is to help others with my experience. One way to improve is to invest in yourself. Many people don’t see it this way, but when you pay for courses, a degree or even when you buy yourself a new computer, …

Writing Open Source code for .Net Core

DateTime.AfterPost – DateTime.Now = 4 minutes One of the disadvantages we rapidly recognized when thinking about making the system out of MicroServices, was how to manage each MS configuration.

POC unknown territories

DateTime.AfterPost – DateTime.Now = 3 minutes When creating a new system most of the infrastructure and technologies are well known to the team. At least that’s been going on for me for the last systems we’ve built. Most of the parts are well known, but what about those dark shadowy places? We started a new system a few months ago (I …

How to update yourself – (Self)Update

DateTime.AfterPost – DateTime.Now = < 1 minute After publishing the “How to update yourself” post a friend encouraged me to look for more ways to self-update your software. Thanks to that I remembered (and found) more methods to do this! One is the ClickOnce Framework. This frameworks takes care of the publishing and updating of your application. It allows administrators to roll an …

How to update yourself

DateTime.AfterPost – DateTime.Now = 4 minutes I don’t know about you, but my university studies didn’t really prepare me for real life. I was pretty fine writing code and completing the assignments, but I found out (pretty fast) that if your code works and it does what it needs to do, it isn’t really done: Do you follow any Design Patterns? …
