Introduction When you build a web application in ASP.NET Core, every HTTP request and response flows through a pipeline. This pipeline is made of components called middleware. A middleware is essentially a piece of code that can: ASP.NET Core itself relies heavily on middleware. For example: The great advantage is that you are not limited […]
Introduction to Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server In the last few years, AI and especially Large Language Models (LLMs) have changed the way we build software. Many modern tools now include AI features: code suggestions in IDEs, natural language commands, automatic documentation, and more.But as we integrate more AI into apps and developer tools, we […]
Introduction After covering essential caching concepts in my article about in-memory caching and exploring distributed solutions with Redis caching, it’s time to discover a powerful new approach that combines the best of both worlds: HybridCache. The .NET team has introduced HybridCache as an innovative solution that addresses common caching challenges. This new caching strategy intelligently combines in-memory caching’s speed […]
Introduction: Why Responsiveness Matters in Modern .NET Applications In today’s world of modern software development, creating responsive and high-performing applications isn’t just a luxury it’s a necessity. Whether you’re building REST APIs, web applications, or microservices, chances are you’re working with asynchronous operations. These operations are often long-running and involve expensive tasks like database queries, external […]
In the ever-evolving landscape of software development, integrating AI capabilities into .NET applications has become a game-changer. As a developer with a passion for exploring new technologies, I’ve delved into the world of Large Language Models (LLMs) and discovered how Microsoft.Extensions.AI can streamline this process. Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming how developers build intelligent […]
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, […]
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 […]
Introduction In the previous chapter, we discussed How to Use xUnit for Unit Testing in .NET Projects Using C# in VSCode, highlighting the importance of unit testing in software development. Today, we will dive into the Moq library, a powerful tool for creating mock objects in .NET unit tests. Moq allows developers to isolate and […]
Introduction In software development, it’s crucial to make sure your code works correctly. One of the best ways to do this is through unit testing. Unit testing means testing small parts of your software, like a single function or method, to make sure they work as expected. In this article, we will learn how to […]
