Introduction In a previous article, I wrote about How to Implement In-Memory Caching in .NET Console App Using C#, where I introduced the basic concept of caching and explained the difference between first-level (in-memory) and second-level (distributed) caching. In-memory caching is a powerful tool to boost application performance by storing frequently accessed data in memory, […]
What is a Cache and Why is it Important? A cache is a temporary storage area that holds frequently accessed data to improve performance. Instead of recalculating or fetching the same data repeatedly from a slower source (like a database or external API), the cache stores this data so it can be quickly retrieved. This […]
What is FluentAssertions? FluentAssertions is a library that provides a rich set of extension methods to assert the outcomes of .NET tests in a more expressive and readable way. By using FluentAssertions, you can write unit tests in a fluent, human-readable style, making it easier to specify the expected behavior of your code. This approach […]
Introduction When building modern web applications, APIs are critical for communication between the frontend and backend. However, there are times when backend development lags behind, or you need to start working on the frontend without waiting for the API to be fully implemented. This is where tools like Postman come into play. In a previous […]
What Are Design Patterns? Design patterns are proven solutions to common software design problems. They are like pre-packaged “recipes” that allow us to solve common problems efficiently and in a reusable way. They have been identified and cataloged over the years by experienced programmers, and knowledge of them is considered essential for any developer. Design […]
Introduction Dependency Injection (DI) is a fundamental concept in .NET development, enabling developers to create flexible, maintainable, and testable applications. By decoupling dependencies, DI allows for better code organization and promotes adherence to SOLID principles, particularly the Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP). Previously, I discussed SOLID principles in C# and delved into the Dependency Inversion Principle. […]
Summer Braek 2024 Hello everyone, As summer is in full swing, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be taking a short break to enjoy some well-deserved summer vacation with my family. For the next few weeks, I’ll be out of the office, soaking up the sun and recharging my batteries. During this time, […]
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 […]
Introduction to Entity Framework Core Migrations In the previous articles, I discussed how to integrate SQLite with a .NET console application using C# and VSCode, and how to use Dapper for data access. You can find those articles at these links: SQLite with .NET Console Application, Using Dapper and Entity Framework Core in .NET Applications. […]
