Introduction Artificial Intelligence is becoming part of many modern applications. Today, developers can use large language models to summarize text, generate content, analyze data, answer questions, and automate repetitive tasks. In a previous article, Getting Started with AI in .NET: A Simple Guide to Microsoft.Extensions.AI, we explored how to call a language model from a […]
Introduction When building modern APIs, one thing is certain: HTTP calls will fail. It does not matter how well your code is written. Networks are unreliable, external services can be slow, and temporary errors happen all the time. A request might timeout, return a 500 error, or simply fail because of a short network interruption. […]
Introduction When building modern backend applications, communication between services is a key aspect of system design. Most developers are familiar with REST APIs, which have been the standard approach for years. However, as systems grow and performance becomes more critical, alternative solutions start to gain attention. One of these solutions is gRPC, a high-performance Remote […]
Introduction In a previous article, we explored the fundamentals of LINQ in C# and how it simplifies working with collections. We covered the core operators such as Where, Select, OrderBy, and FirstOrDefault, and saw how they can replace manual loops with more expressive queries. Those operators already cover a large percentage of everyday scenarios. However, […]
Part 1 – LINQ Fundamentals When working with collections in C#, it’s very common to use foreach loops to filter or transform data. This approach works well, but as the logic grows, the code often becomes more verbose and harder to read. The intent of the operation is mixed with the mechanics of iteration. LINQ, […]
Introduction One of the first frictions developers encounter when approaching C# is not the language itself, but the project structure that comes with it. If you come from languages like Python, JavaScript, or Go, you are used to writing a single file, running it and iterating quickly. In C#, even for the smallest script, the […]
Introduction Whenever we need to build a simple application without a UI, our first instinct is almost always the same: create a Console Application. It makes sense. Console apps are easy to start, quick to write, and perfect for tasks like: For many developers, a console application feels like the most natural and straightforward choice. […]
Introduction About two years ago, I reviewed the Logitech MX Master 3S in an article titled “Logitech MX Master 3S Review: Enhancing Developer Productivity”. At the time, it quickly became my daily mouse for development work, thanks to its ergonomics and productivity-focused features. Unfortunately, after 2 years and 1 month of daily use, my MX […]
Introduction 2025 is coming to an end and before jumping into new goals and ideas for 2026, I want to take a moment to look back. This year, alongside a full-time job and family life, I continued building software, writing code, and sharing what I learn through my blog and YouTube channel. Mostly on weekends, […]
Why APIs Matter (and Why They Often Feel Slow) Web APIs are the backbone of most modern software systems. They connect mobile apps, web frontends, internal services, third-party integrations, and automation pipelines. If your API is fast and reliable, everything built on top of it feels responsive. If your API is slow or unstable, the […]
