I don’t know how this happened but for the last couple years (at least), whenever I read an author who writes about ORMs, I often see a sentiment like this: “ORMs are fine, just make sure you disable this pesky feature called Lazy Loading”.
It’s like this feature is not even needed and only brings confusion and performance issues to everyone who chooses to use it. Well, as you may guess from the title of this article, I disagree with this point of view completely.
I have a confession to make…I don’t use Automapper.
A Practical Approach Through a Console Application
Iconoir: 1300+ Open Source SVG Icons — A vast array of clean and simple icons, complete with ways to quickly integrate them into React, React Native, Figma, and other apps – or just using CSS, if you prefer.
I am starting to develop more with ASP.NET 5. My journey through beta 5 to 8 has been an interesting one, with much left unexplored. This post hopes to poke fun at me. Developers may receive insight into what it is like transitioning to the new platform
In short, the microservice architectural style is an approach to developing a single application as a suite of small services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms, often an HTTP resource API. These services are built around business capabilities and independently deployable by fully automated deployment machinery. There is a bare minimum of centralised management of these services, which may be written in different programming languages and use different data storage
technologies.
Hackers are smart and users are not being able to cope with their pace of evolution. The result is malware outbreaks we get to know about frequently. Windows is the most widely used OS on Pcs. That makes it the most widely targeted OS too. What is an average user’s (by average I mean not too technical) defense in such case? The anti malware programs. Of course, you have to pay a decent price for your PC to be secured from latest malware derivatives, but what’s better than to get the security for no cost?
background-clip is one of those properties I've known about for years, but rarely used. Maybe just a couple of times as part of a solution to a Stack Overflow question. Until last year, when I started creating my huge collection of sliders. Some of the designs I chose to reproduce were a bit more complex and I only had one element available per slider, which happened to be an input element, meaning that I couldn't even use pseudo-elements on it. Even though that does work in certain browsers, the fact that it works is actually a bug and I didn't want to rely on that. All this meant I ended up using backgrounds, borders, and shadows a lot. I also learned a lot from doing that and this article shares some of those lessons.
A while ago I wrote an article with some CSS tips, now it’s time to give some polish to our HTML! In this article I’ll share some tips and advice about HTML code. Some of this guidance will be best suited for beginners – how to properly build paragraphs, use headings, or improve forms, but we will also discuss SVG sprites for icons, a somewhat more advanced topic.
