In the February 2016 issue of MSDN Magazine, I showed how to create a custom scripting language based on the Split-And-Merge algorithm for parsing mathematical expressions in C# (msdn.com/magazine/mt632273). I called my language Customizable Scripting in C#, or CSCS. Recently, I published an E-book that provided more details about creating a custom language (bit.ly/2yijCod). Creating your own scripting language might not initially seem to be particularly useful, even though there are some interesting applications of it (for example, game cheating). I also found some applications in Unity programming.

There are many new features in SQL Server 2022. In relation to T-SQL querying, there are a few as well and they usually are left for last in face of many other new optimization features. 

Well perhaps the first thing to say is that Windows Desktop apps will still work on Windows 10 without any changes. You can even make use of the new Window 10 APIs in a Win32 application and there are improvements in .NET 4.6. Even WPF receives some attention

Working with Asynchronous Methods in C# 

.NET 6 Preview 1 is now available and ready for evaluation. This is the first preview of .NET 6, the next major update to the .NET platform. .NET 6 is expected to ship in November of this year, and will be a Long Term Support (LTS) release. 

In the same time when first object-oriented languages were emerging, another concept inspired by general relativity and quantum mechanics was taking shape – actor model. In general terms, the Actor model was defined 1973. and was developed on a platform of multiple independent processors in a network. Similar to the object-oriented approach, this essentially mathematical model, revolved around the concept of actors. An actor is the smallest structural unit of Actor model, and just like objects, they encapsulate data and behavior. In difference to objects, however, actors communicate with each other exclusively trough messages. Messages in actors are processed in a serial manner. According to the full definition of actors, they can do three things:

• send a finite number of messages to other actors
  
• create a finite number of new actors
  
• designate the behavior to be used for the next message it receives 
  

Performance of your ASP.NET web application is important. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that slow loading times and clunky interaction, will drive customers elsewhere. Even in the case of internal applications where the users have no option but to use the application, their satisfaction is tightly coupled to speed.

There are a ton of ways to improve the performance of a website, let's look at fifteen of them.
