Introduction Yesterday, the .NET development community was hit with unexpected news Fluent Assertions, the popular library for writing cleaner and more expressive assertions in unit tests, has changed its licensing model starting from version 8.0. This marks a significant shift from the Apache 2.0 open-source license to a new Standard License. With this change, users […]
Introduction In modern web applications, performance is a key factor for both user satisfaction and system efficiency. One highly effective technique to enhance performance is response caching. With response caching, browsers or other clients store a copy of a server’s response locally. When the same resource is requested again, the cached version is served instantly. This […]
Introduction With the rise of home office culture (perhaps the only silver lining from the COVID era), I now spend several days a week working from the comfort of my home. Being a developer working in an Agile environment, my day is filled with ceremonies sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives, daily stand-ups and countless hours of […]
Introduction As I look back at 2024, I’m proud to say I kept my promise: one blog post and one YouTube video every week. Finding 1-2 hours with a busy family life wasn’t easy it meant early mornings before the kids woke up or late nights after they went to bed. But I did it! […]
Introduction In my previous articles, we’ve covered quite a journey through JWT authentication in ASP.NET Core Minimal API. Part 1 introduced the basics using the dotnet user-jwts tool, providing a foundation for securing APIs during development. Part 2 took us deeper into manual token generation and validation, showing how to implement production-ready JWT authentication with full control over the process. However, […]

Introduction In a previous article, I wrote about How to Implement JWT Authentication in ASP.NET Core Minimal API, where I introduced the basic concept of JWT (JSON Web Tokens) and demonstrated how to implement authentication using the dotnet user-jwts tool. This approach provided a straightforward way to secure APIs during development by automatically handling token generation and validation. […]
In today’s world of modern web applications, secure authentication is not just a feature – it’s a necessity. Token-based authentication, particularly using JWT (JSON Web Tokens), has become the go-to solution for securing APIs. Before we dive into the implementation, let’s understand why this matters. What Is Token-Based Authentication? Token-based authentication is a security mechanism […]
Introduction In my previous article, “How to Turn On Features in .NET and C# Without Redeploying: Exploring Feature Flags and A/B Testing”, I introduced the concept of feature flags and explained their value in modern software development. We explored how they enable dynamic feature control, safer rollouts, and experimentation like A/B testing, all while minimizing […]
