It’s time to get serious about improving your programming skills. Let’s do it!

That’s an easy career improvement goal to give oneself, but “become a kick-$!! programmer” is not a simple goal. For one thing, saying, “I want to get better” assumes that you recognize what “better” looks like. Plus, too many people aim for improvement without any sense of how to get there. 

I am sure most programmers have heard of Node.js, but what aboutNodeOS? Yes, NodeOS, an operating system written in Node.js. Well, kind of. NodeOS uses the Linux kernel for most performance critical stuff like, for example, hardware interactions, but for everything else it uses Node.js. NodeOS development started two years ago and was created by people who shared a simple, but intriguing, idea: “Is it possible to create an operating system using only Node.js 

Introducing the .NET Hot Reload experience for editing code at runtime 

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to setup and install ASP.NET Core 2.1 on Linux. I did it for the first time in 15 minutes with no previous experience with .NET Core on Linux. I did it the second time, in production, in 5 minutes by following these instructions.

In this article, I show you how to install the .NET Core runtime on CentOS, how to get a sample ASP.NET Core project running on Kestrel as a service for reliability, and how to configure both the code and the firewall to enable remote access. Finally, I discuss what I would do differently for actual production usage.
