Pierwszy odcinek naszego obiecanego kursu o mikroserwisach.

Welcome to the first part about DevOps and automating the deployment for the .NET Core apps with the usage of Docker, Travis CI (I’ll also mention how to use BitBucket Pipelines) and Rancher. The purpose of this tutorial is to show you that setting up the CI & CD for the projects that you’re working on is not as complex as it may seem at the first glance. The slides for the presentation can be found here.

It’s been almost a year since we – the members of the Noordwind teal organization started working on our own, fully open sourced project named Collectively, being the platform for the citizens that would help them report and discuss about things that are important for their community and environment. On the 15th of September, there will be a special event (including press conference) held in Kraków related to our platform as well, so please feel already invited. And now, let me introduce what the Collect...

Welcome to the twenty-third episode of my course “Becoming a software developer” in which we will focus on the vast topic of DevOps which is all about building, testing and deploying the application. And we will use Docker to help with the overall process.

Welcome to the twenty-second episode of my course “Becoming a software developer” in which we will use SQL Server database along with Entity Framework Core library.

Recently, I started researching tools and services for the build automation. Being a long user of TeamCity and currently Travis CI (also had some experience with Jenkins, AppVeyor and VSTS) I wanted to find out what else is there. Then I realized that there’s a build server built into BitBucket, thus I decided to give it a go.

Since ASP.NET Core became a truly cross-platform framework, we’re free to use other environments such as Linux in order to host our applications. This is a great opportunity not only to reduce the possible licensing costs but also to try out a new environment. In the video tutorial below, I’ll show you how to build a Docker image using ASP.NET Core, publish it to the Virtual Machine running in the Digital Ocean and use Nginx to expose the app to the world.

Welcome to the nineteenth episode of my course “Becoming a software developer” in which we will gracefully handle the exceptions and extend logging services with NLog.

Welcome to the seventeenth episode of my course “Becoming a software developer” in which we will mostly talk about the boundaries and responsibilities of the application services. Eventually, we will implement some helper code to automatically assign the authenticated user id to the given command.

Welcome to the sixteenth episode of my course “Becoming a software developer” in which we will implement the login endpoint in our API, discuss the caching mechanism and how to initialize the application with basic data.
