Recently I’ve got a spare minute to see why an old test server was running too slow… I had nothing to do with this, but I was very anxious to find out what was wrong with the server. 

Many many years ago I wrote a blog post about what .NET Developers ought to know. Unfortunately what was just a list of questions was abused by recruiters and others who used it as a harsh litmus test.  

Our findings that the top ten Docker images contain over 8,000 paths to vulnerabilities, coupled with the observation that for almost every dependency present in these images a vulnerabilities was added, make a strong case for using minimal base images.

As React celebrates its 11th anniversary in 2024, it’s worth looking ahead to the exciting developments in the React ecosystem. In this blog, we’ll explore various aspects of the ecosystem, building on what was happening in 2023 and what you can expect in the coming year.

, What Every JavaScript Developer Should Know About ECMAScript 2015 is the book I'd like to read about the new features in the JavaScript language. The book isn't a reference manual or an exhaustive list of everything in the ES2015 specification. Instead, I purposefully selected what I think are the important features we will use in everyday programming.
