Thanks to the folks organizing Cloud Developer Days Poland, I had the opportunity to give two talks in Krakow, Poland this week: As promised, here are the slides for both.

That was fun! I had the opportunity to present at CodeStock 2019 in Knoxville, TN (USA). The conference is for the community, by the community, which means lots of enthusiast people around. The talk I did was Exploring .NET memory management - a trip down memory lane. Slides are available below. Demo code is available from GitHub.

This week, I had the privilege to visit ConFoo Montreal for the third time. It’s a great conference that has attendees interested in lots of technologies such as PHP, Java, .NET and more. Even better: I got to deliver two talks: As promised, here are the slides for both.

The nice folks of TechDays Finland provided me with the opportunity to speak about Microservices for building an IDE - The innards of JetBrains Rider. It was nice to be able to talk about some of the internals, architecture and design decisions that were made while building a .NET IDE - Rider. If you’re interested in the slides, find them below. This story is also avilable as an article on CODE Magazine: Building a .NET IDE with JetBrains Rider.

Usually on my development machine, I run ASP.NET Core applications in Kestrel. It’s easy to do, the project templates .NET Core provide create a nice launchSettings.json to start it from the command line, etc. However, I was asked to help someone out with hosting ASP.NET Core in IIS Express. Great! The default launchSettings.json contain an entry for that as well, so I ran dotnet run --launch-profile "IIS Express".

We all know it’s important to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks against our application. Unfortunately, our inherited code base has zero measures implemented - not one action methods with a [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] attribute in sight!

As discussed in the previous post, we all know it is important to perform validations to prevent a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack against our application. Imagine inheriting a code base that has zero measures implemented? How would you find which action methods need a [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]? Today, we will look at using ReSharper to find all action methods that need [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] added. In this series:

As ASP.NET MVC developers, whether ASP.NET MVC 5 or ASP.NET MVC Core, we all know it is important to perform certain validations to prevent a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack against the application we are building. The ASP.NET MVC provides the @Html.AntiForgeryToken() helper which we can use to add a hidden field in the form we are posting, and a [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] attribute which we can decorate our action method with and instructs the framework to validate the posted token is valid (or was forged).

At JetBrains Day Seoul, I had the opportunity to speak about How to become a productive .NET developer with JetBrains Rider.
