A simple utility to execute a callback when a webfont loads.  Demo

This uses the CSS Font Loading Module when available (currently in Chrome 35+ and Opera 22+). When that isn’t available, it uses a very similar approach to the one used in the TypeKit Web Font Loader (which is currently 7.1KB GZIP).

Basically, it creates an element with a font stack including the web font and a default serif/sans-serif typeface. It then uses a test string and measures the dimensions of the element at a certain interval. When the dimensions are different than the default fallback fonts, the font is considered to have loaded successfully.

If you’d like a full polyfill for the CSS Font Loading Module, follow along with Bram Stein’s Font Loader. I believe the specification has changed since he launched this polyfill, but he’s working on an updated version. 

Entity Framework (EF) Core is the rearchitected and rewritten version of the Entity Framework object relational mapping engine for .NET Core applications. It is very light-weight, extensible, and cross platform.

However, high transaction .NET Core applications using EF Core face performance and scalability bottlenecks in the database-tier under peak loads. This is because, although you can linearly scale the application tier by adding more application servers, you cannot add more database servers to scale it.

But, if you use a distributed cache like NCache in your .NET Core applications, you can quickly remove these performance and scalability bottlenecks and handle extreme transaction loads. 

One year ago MVVM wasn’t very famous. I remember the first article I read about it, about using MVVM to simplify the management of treeview controls. In the last six months, MVVM has been quickly promoted to THE methodology to use when developing WPF applications. During this amount of time, famous WPF developers started to merge their existing MVVM classes into libraries. Those libraries are now known as MVVM frameworks and contain classes designed to help developers to use MVVM in their projects 

In this video we will build a complete full stack Blog Web App using the new Blazor Web App with SSR with .Net 8 | Step by Step | From Scratch to End You will learn: New Static Server Side Rendering with Blazor, QuickGrid, Enhanced Navigation, Enhanced Forms, Stream Rendering, Image Preview & Upload, Identity Authentication, Interactive Server Render Mode for Admin Panel, and much more  

In this article I will explain some general purpose queries. I think each developer should have knowledge of these queries. These queries are not related to any specific topic of SQL. But knowledge of such queries can solve some complex tasks and may be used in many scenarios, so I decided to write an article on these queries. 

# Which Approach Should You Use?

We had a look at four different approaches:-Callbacks with the danger of entering callback hell -Promises to escape callback hell-Observables to handle streams of data and apply operator magic -async/ await to write “synchronous” code with promises

Today, the Entity Framework Core team announces the sixth preview release of EF Core 5.0. This release includes split queries for related collections, a new “index” attribute, improved exceptions related to query translations, IP address mapping, exposing transaction id for correlation, and much more. 

We are pleased to announce version 5.0.0 of Angular, pentagonal-donut. This is a major release containing new features and bugfixes. This release continues our focus on making Angular smaller, faster, and easier to use. 

The collection includes 14 different tools including a Json to Yaml and Yaml to Json converter, a JWT decoder, a Text compare tool, and more.

The full list includes:

• Converters
  • Json <> Yaml
  • Number Base
• Encoders / Decoders
  • HTML
  • URL
  • Base64
  • JWT Decoder
• Formatters
  • Json
• Generators
  • Hash (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512)
  • UUID 1 and 4
  • Lorem Ipsum
• Text
  • Inspector & Case Converter
  • Regex Tester
  • Text Comparer
  • Markdown Preview
• Graphic
  • Color Blindness Simulator
  • PNG / JPEG Compressor

Some of the tools will have wider appeal, for example, the text comparison tool would be useful for writers and solicitors alike, while the PNG/JPEG compressor could help webmasters. Expect more utilities to join the bundle in the future.

The collection is free, and can be accessed via GitHub here or free via the Microsoft Store.
