Bogus is a simple fake data generator for .NET languages like C#, F# and VB.NET. Bogus is fundamentally a C# port of faker.js and inspired by FluentValidation's syntax sugar. 

C# Regex class provides pattern matching funcions in form of regular expressions. The source code examples in this article show how to use Regular Expressions to validate different inputs. The code provides methods to validate Alphabet, AlphaNumeric, Integer, Postive Integers, Floating point numbers and so on 

Sometimes, in order to get rapid feedback, it’s useful to throw together a prototype that has literally nothing going on in the backend, but lets the user get a sense of how the application would flow. The problem, of course, is that once users see such a thing, they can’t always tell the difference between smoke and mirrors and the real thing.

MONEY and DECIMAL are useful in the case of values and sums. However, money is not a correct data type in case of division (The result is 0,00009 so it should be rounded to 0,0001). 

We developers spend lot of our time reading code. We read code so that we know how to change it to implement a new feature, fix a bug, etc. It is much better to work in a code base where code is easy to read and understand.

One thing that can make code readable is good naming. Giving variables, classes, and methods good names makes code easier to read. 

.Net Core is a lightweight and cross-platform version of the DotNet framework and the awesome thing is Developers required the same expertise to work with Asp.Net Core as .Net Framework. 

Invoking event handlers in C# has always been a bit of a pain, because an event with no subscribers is usually represented as a null reference.
