EF Core In-Memory Database
Writing a mock repository for unit testing can require a large amount of coding that simply duplicates the features of a real database. Nowadays, the Entity Framework Core In-Memory database does the work for you.
Units
Ever called a function passing seconds instead of milliseconds? Or metres instead of feet? Here's a robust way to avoid problems with units.
Topics include:
- C++
- C++ 11/14
- Time
- Units
- Type safety

Topics include:
- C#
- ASP.NET Core
- Middleware
- Authorization
- Authentication

Promises, Promises
Promises are becoming ever more popular in JavaScript, but it's not always obvious what the benefits are. Here a simple caching example explains the essentials.
Topics include:
- JavaScript
- Promises
- Ajax
- Web Services

Dynamic Overloading
The dynamic keyword allows decisions about object type to be deferred until runtime. One benefit of this is that we can make method overloading decisions at runtime rather than having them locked in by the compiler.
Topics include:
- C#
- dynamic
- Polymorphism
- Overloading
- Strong typing

IEnumerable vs IQueryable
The two interfaces IQueryable and IEnumerable seem almost interchangeable. Here I discuss one of the key differences, and how it can have a serious effect on performance.
Topics include:
- C#
- IQueryable<T>
- IEnumerable<T>
- Extension methods
- Entity Framework
- SQL
- Performance
- Deferred execution
