Many of us, and I’m not speaking just about folks within the IT industry, sometimes have this feeling about the missed opportunity. It might be related to the job, some project or anything else that somehow we didn’t manage to accomplish due to some specific reasons (maybe just a bad luck or even the laziness). However, sometimes missing a particular opportunity doesn’t mean that the world has come to an end, actually, it might turn into something even better and unexpected.

There are many ways to perform a validation of our models living within the system. Whether there’s an incoming request from the user who would like to create an account or there’s a need to ensure about the correct amount of money in a bank transaction, the validation process should always (I really mean that) take place. In today’s post, I’d like to present one of the possible solutions that might help you validate your entities.

Which one of us doesn’t like to give commands? It’s the natural way to ask (in a polite way) for a specific task that needs to be completed. Therefore, it shouldn’t be surprising that the command pattern can be also easily implemented within our software, which might provide some serious benefits in terms of loose coupling the existing code.

If you take a look at the title of this post and instantly think it’s a trap or bait – let me prove you wrong. This is not going to be one of these catchy titles, so “what kind of bs am I going to read here” has little use in this place. Actually, this is 100% true that contributing to the open source community might greatly affect your life – and it goes far beyond daily activities related to the coding. Therefore, let me tell you a short story about a guy, typical .NET developer, who not so long ago al...

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, ...

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?

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.

The last day of the Daj Się Poznać competition in which I’ve gladly participated has finally come. It was full 3 months of intense work, blogging and literally trying in different ways to become a little more recognizable in the IT community. Was it worth it? Was it difficult? Would I do the same thing again? I can give you a short answer of 3xYES, however, I’d like to invite you to read the whole summary as you may find some helpful content here that could provide answers for some of your doubts or que...

In today’s post, I’d like to present how easy it is to create a custom watcher that can be added to the Warden instance and integrated with the whole monitoring process. Let’s not waste any more time and jump directly into the code.

Today is the day, in which the Warden Web Panel has been finally released. It is available in the Azure cloud, where you can create a free account and use it immediately, or, if you wish to host it on your own, just clone the repository and run the web application – it’s actually quite easy to get it up and running on localhost in a matter of minutes (or even seconds). In the post details, you can find more information about the idea behind the Web Panel UI and what can be done do with this tool in term...
