Nowadays, I am trying to learn different design patterns in object oriented paradigm that are pretty useful to implement generic solutions for different scenarios. Few weeks ago for a job hunt, I got an assignment to do which was a web application that would interact with database, so I took it up as a challenge and decided to make it loosely coupled using design patterns which were applicable in that scenario.

Front-End Web Development in Desktop Applications — a hands-on project with Blazor and .NET 6 

Third Party Site Cookies

In August 2020, Google announced their 'Privacy Sandbox' initiative, which aims to preserve and protect user's privacy. The cookie processing change is part of this initiative. An official  blog post sheds some light on it.

Google will drop support for third-party cookies in the Chrome browser in two years. Also, the company will start limiting cross-site tracking by enforcing its new SameSite rules . This has already happened in Chrome 80.

The SameSite-by-default and SameSite=None-requires-Secure behaviors will begin rolling out to Chrome 80 Stable for an initial limited population starting the week of February 17, 2020. 

once the non LTS is installed you end up with 16.10 which has installed some newer versions of required libraries, namely something called libicu which is now on 57 instead of a required 55. 

 WebAssembly is one of the newest technologies to hit the web dev world with some promising new features around performance and expanding the boundaries of web languages. We’ll take a look at using it with Blazor to allow .NET developers to create a SPA.

Did you know that when Googlebot is crawling the Web, it runs a version of Chromium behind the scenes and actually runs your JavaScript? This means there are some things to be aware of. 

Singleton design pattern is one of the simplest design patterns: it involves only one class throughout the application which is responsible to instantiate itself, to make sure it creates not more than one instance; in the same time it provides a global point of access to that instance. In this case the same instance can be used from everywhere, being impossible to invoke directly the constructor each time.
