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.

Today, we are releasing .NET 5.0 Preview 8. The .NET 5.0 release is now “feature complete”, meaning that very nearly all features are in their final form (with the exception of bug fixes still to come). Preview 8 is, appropriately, the last preview. We plan on releasing two go-live release candidates before the final .NET 5.0 release in November. This post describes a selection of features across the .NET 5.0 release. 

In NancyFX Succinctly, you'll learn what NancyFX is all about, where it came from, and what it can do for you as a .NET developer. Author Peter Shaw will explain why NancyFX is more than just another web framework, and teach you some of the many tricks that make it as easy as possible for you to create stunning web-enabled applications on the .NET platform.  

Our findings that the top ten Docker images contain over 8,000 paths to vulnerabilities, coupled with the observation that for almost every dependency present in these images a vulnerabilities was added, make a strong case for using minimal base images.

Accounting For Software Engineers

The difference between accountants and software engineers, when it comes to accounting systems, is about what we primarily care about. Accountants care about meaning: is the quick ratio in good shape? Is income growing at an expected rate? How do we deal with an upcoming expense? Software engineers care about: will we properly move money around so that the balances are correct given certain latency, concurrency, etc.? Do we have the information required to generate the Income Statement? How do we represent a credit memo?
