In this post, we will be covering all OAuth 2.0 flows using GIFs that are simple and easier to understand. This post can be used as a cheat-sheet for future reference as well!  

A user story is a short description of something your customer will do when they come to your website or use your application. It focuses on the result or value that the customer gets. They are written from the customer’s point of view and in the language that they would use.

Fast timer plugin for countdown and count forward Demo

With this plugin you can easily put a timer on your site, it works both ways. You can use two version, one version is the version for modern browsers with the standards of the ES2017 and the version for old browsers with ES2015 standards. Using the config you can change the tags as letters and numbers, you can also change the text output next to the numbers.

Dear developer friends, I wanted to share with you a book that particularly amazed me. This book teaches you LINQ like you never have before and all in just 35 pages. I present to you Steven Giesel‘s book “LINQ Explained with sketches”. 

We kindly ask you for your valuable input on the priorities for modernizing investments that the WPF team should focus on, as outlined in the roadmap document for 2023.

Please use thumbs up (no other emoji responses will be considered to avoid duplication) on options below which you would like us to prioritize.

        [Required]

        public string MiddleName { get; set; } // NULL
    }

    public class Person_AfterCS8
    {
        public string FirstName { get; set; } = null!; // NOT NULL

        public string? MiddleName { get; set; } // NULL
