TypeScript lets you write JavaScript the way you really want to.

TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.

Any browser. Any host. Any OS. Open Source. 

Haxe is an open source toolkit based on a modern high level strictly typed programming language, a state-of-the-art light-speed cross-compiler, a complete cross-platform standard library, and ways to access to each platform's native capabilities. 

This is a list of notable software packages which were published under a proprietary software license but later released as free software or open source software, or into the public domain.

Stop writing your changelogs manually

How do you usually keep track of the changes in your projects? Do you use GitHub releases? Do you update your changelogs manually? In this article, I will explain how I handle this topic. This is just one way of doing it, feel free to stick around if you are interested in the topic 🔥

An easy way to perform background job processing in your .NET and .NET Core applications. No Windows Service or separate process required. CPU and I/O intensive, long-running and short-running jobs are supported. Backed by Redis, SQL Server, SQL Azure and MSMQ. 

PM> Install-Package Hangfire

After installation, update your existing OWIN Startup file with the following lines of code. If you do not have this class in your project or don't know what is it, please read the Quick start guide to learn about how to install Hangfire.

public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
    GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.UseSqlServerStorage("<connection string or its name>");
    
    app.UseHangfireServer();
    app.UseHangfireDashboard();
