Imagine that you have a service, which receives requests to execute specific methods, possibly from a number of different underlying libraries that you don’t want to expose directly. Possible examples are web services. The request comes in as a number of string values (method name, parameters etc.) and you need to respond with results. So you have inherited a project with API that starts with a method: object Invoke(string methodName, object[] parameters); You now have to call variety o...

Rozpoznawanie twarzy na zdjęciach, emocji jakie wyrażają, opisywanie zawartości fotografii, przetwarzanie języka naturalnego – te i wiele więcej tematów powiązanych ze sztuczną inteligencją znane są nam od dawna. Jednak od niedawna są one tak bardzo na wyciągnięcie ręki. Rzućmy okiem na Microsoft Cognitive Services.

Xamarin nie jest gwarantem trzykrotnie szybszego developmentu. Nie zachodzi tutaj żadna równość typu, że niezależnie ile platform docelowych będziemy chcieli obsłużyć, to w praktyce i tak piszemy jedną aplikację. Xamarin tak nie działa. Nawet w sytuacji gdy korzystamy z Formsów to i tak nie jesteśmy w stanie skrócić developmentu na inne platformy do zera. Na ten temat szerzej pisałem we wpisie w ubiegłym tygodniu.

NDepend is one of these tools, that I have ever wanted to try out, but somehow couldn’t find the right moment to do so. Quite recently, I’ve eventually decided to give it a shot and I can honestly say that I’m very impressed with the outcome. This tool provides so many statistics and analytics that I’m still wondering what else can be checked in terms of .NET projects complexity, structure, layering, readability and other important things which in the end make a real difference between the great, good, ...

In this article I’ll focus on Android development, describe how Xamarin achieves its goals and present simple code example.

Hey, do you remember one of my latest posts in which I’ve described how easy it is to integrate the C# with Slack? I’ve taken this concept a little bit further and created a new type of integration which can do pretty much the same thing but in a more sophisticated way in terms of configuration and available options. So, are you ready to integrate your Warden with the Slack?

On my track from Zero to Hero  I was looking for an idea of a meaningful, profitable online business. As there are various ways of achieving that goal I was wondering which path should I take. I’ve gathered my ideas and wrote this blog post. Some time after, one of the readers of that particular post (and also my colleague) asked me to be a co-founder of a new online business. I took it into consideration, examined pros and cons and finally decided to accept the offer. We’re starting this business fr...

Postów, felietonów czy filmów mówiących o tym jak zostać programistą jest przynajmniej tyle ile odcinków "Mody na sukces", ale każdy dokładnie taki sam. Tutaj prezentuje inne podejście do tego zagadnienia. Zapraszam do lektury i dyskusji.

Good morning, this is gonna be a very short post, as it’s truly super easy to integrate the C# with the Slack API. We’ll make use of the latest .NET Core version listed as the dnxcore50 and build a console application that you can use to send the messages to the particular channel.

JSON format has been a standard used amongst many different framework and languages for quite a few years now. It’s so cool, that even the .NET Core team have decided to include it in its framework which results in e.g. being able to store the application settings within a JSON file, which is much more human readable and less bloated than the old one App or Web.config written using the XML. In today’s post, I’d like to present how easy it is to create your own JSON configuration reader and move the appl...
