AutoMapper has been a popular library in the .NET open source community for a long time. As their site says:

AutoMapper is a simple little library built to solve a deceptively complex problem - getting rid of code that mapped one object to another. This type of code is rather dreary and boring to write, so why not invent a tool to do it for us?

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer, but that still probably doesn’t mean a lot, so what is it and what does it do? 

This lets you do things that you can’t do in WebAPI’s default binder, specifically:

1. ModelBinds everything, including the body. Assumes the body is FormUrl encoded
2. This means you can do MVC scenarios where a complex type is bound with one field from the query string and one field from the form data in the body.
3. Allows multiple parameters to be bound from the body. 

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. 

• یکی از محدودیت‌های استفاده از expression body داشتن چندین خط دستور برای بدنه متدهایمان است. در اینحالت باید از روش سابق (statement body) استفاده نمائید. 
• یکی دیگر از محدودیت‌ها عدم امکان استفاده از if, else, switch است. به عنوان مثال نمی‌توان کد زیر را با داشتن if و else به صورت expression body نوشت:

public override string ToString() =>
                    (MiddleName != null)
                    ? FirstName + " " + MiddleName + " " + LastName
                    : FirstName + " " + LastName;

• همچنین نمی‌توان از for, foreach, while, do در expression body استفاده کرد، به جای آن می‌توان از عبارت‌های LINQ برای بدنه تابع استفاده کرد. به عنوان مثال متد زیر:
  

public IEnumerable<int> SmallNumbers() => Enumerable.Range(0, 10).Select(n => n);

• همانطور که عنوان شد، استفاده از expression body در قسمت پراپرتی‌ها تنها محدود به پراپرتی‌های get-only (فقط خواندنی) میباشد.
  
• استفاده از این قابلیت برای متدهای سازنده
• استفاده در رخدادها
• استفاده در finalizers

    public class Person
    {
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }

        public Person()
        {
            this.FirstName = "Sirwan";
            this.LastName = "Afifi";
        }
    }

public string FirstName { get; set; } = "Sirwan";
public string LastName { get; set; } = "Afifi";

PostgreSQL Tutorial Full Course 2022

I provide here in this PostgreSQL tutorial a full course you can use to master PostgreSQL. Postgres is an object relational database that is just as fast as MySQL that adheres more closely to SQL standards and excels at concurrency. Postgres is also superior at avoiding data corruption.

Input Validation for me is about validating the user input. Some people call "Name must not be empty" a business rule, I think about it as input validation. Business Rules validation is more complex, because a business rule for me is not "Name must not be empty", it is a definition of a state in the system that requires an action. Here is a definition of a business rule:

An order should be payed within 30 days, this duration can be extended, to a maximum of three times.
