Adventures in .NET

Today we talk with Anthony Trad - he lays his case for why layering the repository pattern over Entity Framework is sometimes not a best idea for your codebase. Depending on the context, you could well just be over engineering. After that, we tackle a couple of other patterns such as the specification pattern and the mediator pattern and talk about when it is and is not appropriate to use them.

Believe it or not, software development is not an easy job. Each business domain is different, you are constantly learning something new and it takes work to stay on top of the right patterns and practices. How do you learn the right patterns and practices though? Maybe you read a lot of books, watch a lot of videos, or you go to meetups and conferences. The thing is those resources only take you so far and you will find that there are things you still don't know. Hamed Shirbandi created TaskoMask to help him understand .NET patterns and practices and to show examples of real world challenges. In this episode we discuss how he architected the open-source project and some of the different technologies that he used. What have you had to learn by doing?

In today's episode we range far and wide over several topics. Our guest, Ferry To, works at a startup and we discuss some of the difficulties of working in a fast paced environment and how he and his team have worked through those difficulties. We also talk about Azure, automation, SignalR and Blazor. Ferry created a Wordle clone using Blazor and GitHub pages so we talk a bit about what Wordle is and the benefits of using Blazor instead of a JavaScript framework. Have you created a clone of a popular app or game? What did you learn?

Dominic Ullmann comes on the show to tell us how async / await works and the benefits of using it rather than making database calls synchronously. He talks about his recent experience converting a 500k+ line of code legacy application to use the async / await pattern. Too big to do by hand, he discusses using AsyncGenerator - an internal tool developed by the nHibernate project to auto-generate async versions of your methods.

In this episode the panelists talk about source control. What is source control? How do you use it? Do you need it? As a developer today the majority of us are probably using Git in some form or fashion. Even though it feels like Git has been around forever that wasn't always the case. Shawn, Wai and Caleb remember the days before Git using SourceSafe or Subversion. Things have come a long way since the days of SourceSafe but that doesn't mean that Git is necessarily easy or intuitive. The panelists take a closer look at some of the Git commands like merge, stash, squash and rebase. Do you use source control? If so has it helped make your life easier?

In a lot of codebases, security isn't a priority until it is too late. Everyone makes mistakes but the question is do you learn from your mistakes or repeat them over and over. Christos Matskas returns to the podcast to discuss some common security mistakes and better ways to make security part of your development process. Our discussion includes .NET Framework web configs, secret storage, databases, identity and more. We even go over some of the mistakes we have made in our own code and how we learned from those mistakes. Is there a mistake you made that you will never forget?

In today's episode Carl Layton returns to the podcast to discuss Azure Functions. What are Azure Functions and how do they work? Functions are one of the serverless compute options from Azure. You can use Functions to build web APIs, respond to database changes, manage message queues, and more. Beyond that we look at the security, performance and scaling of Azure Functions. What is it like to write code, debug and deploy Functions? What costs are involved to use Azure Functions and is it worth it for you or your company. Have you used Azure Functions? What is your experience? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.
