I commonly hear the phrase “The web application worked in the pre-production environment and now is encountering issues in production and the server’s configuration are identical!” when I appear onsite to help assist with the resolution of the issues. Upon further investigation, an IIS module has not been installed on the production server, or the configuration is different for an application pool setting between the pre-production and production environments. This is a very common scenario I encounter in the field and here are some suggestions on how to determine differences between IIS servers in an IIS farm environment or between servers in different environments, such as pre-production and production. Keeping server configuration and content synchronized is always a challenge and I hope these suggestions help out.

Exploring the Features of C# 11: The Modern Capabilities of a Vibrant Language [Webinar]
C# has evolved long since its introduction about 20 years ago. In this live-coding presentation, learn about the fascinating features of the most recent version of the language. We will explore the most interesting features, their power, and how we can benefit from them to create concise, expressive, and maintainable code. 

• New interaction utilities. Quickly set user-select with the new utilities and Sass map.
• New Reboot style for pointer cursors. We now include a role="button" selector in Reboot to set cursor: pointer on non-<button> element buttons.
• Examples are now downloadable. We’ve added a script to zip up and offer all our Examples as their own download from the docs.
• Saved ~5% from the compressed minified JS builds. 

How you shouldn’t implement base classes

public class Entity<T>
{

  public T Id { get; protected set; }

}

Motivation for such code it pretty clear: you have a base class that can be reused across multiple projects. For instance, if there is a web application with GUID Id columns in the database and a desktop app with integer Ids, it might seem a good idea to have the same class for both of them. In fact, this approach introduces accidental complexity because of premature generalization. 

There is no need in using a single base entity class for more than one project or bounded context. Each domain has its unique path, so let it grow independently. Just copy and paste the base entity class to a new project and specify the exact type that will be used for the Id property. 

LeetCode is the best platform to help you enhance your skills, expand your knowledge and prepare for technical interviews. 

The command pattern moves logic from each action method and injected dependencies into their own class
