Lately I’ve seen some posts about authentication made easy and simple with various packages and how it’s great we doesn’t haven’t to store logins and passwords in our databases anymore due to global availability of social identity providers. It’s true that making simple authentication with of of those providers is simple today. And in Azure App Services it’s even simpler, it really can be done in 5 minutes.

Entity Framework (and other ORMs) are in general great pieces of software that makes developers lives so much easier by letting us thinking about objects when we’re working with data persisted in some underlying database. This makes development much easier than writing raw SQL queries. But some of us tend to get too comfy and forgetting about things that lies beneath our beautiful, object oriented code. After all we have Entity Framework, we shouldn’t wrap our heads around SQL stuff. But how about actual...

Hey everyone, I haven’t been asking anyone for help with developing the software for quite some time now, but well, the time is the crucial part here. I wish that the day lasted much longer than it currently is, yet, since I can’t do much about it, I want to ask you for help with contributing to the open source projects that I’ve been working on. It could be anything, like a feedback or an actual contribution (e.g. via Pull Request) and maybe you will find some of the projects interesting as there is a f...

Prezentujemy drugi odcinek podcastu. Będziecie mogli usłyszeć o warstwach. Trochę dyskutujemy o tym czy warto stosować, jakie są zalety a jakie wady ich posiadania.

Last week, I finally started working on my „Get noticed” project called gifty. If you have absolutely no idea what I’m writing about you can go read my introduction to the project which I link here😉 Anyway, one of the first things I wanted to do was to create some kind of ServiceBuilder for every microservice, since all of them (or at least majority) will have to go through some steps before the actually run. The steps are:Initialize Kestrel wi...

Let’s take a closer look at our actors, how their life looks like, what exactly they’ve been doing and what they can do. As they are basic building block of applications built on actor model it’s crucial to understand and being able to communicate with them.

Actor model concept fascinated me since I’ve heard about it for the first time. It’s been on my todo list ever since and Get Noticed 2017 is great opportunity to give it a try. That’s why there is an actor responsible for almost anything in Me2.0. But, what is an actor, actor model and are benefits of using it in our projects? You’ll find out in a minute.

Until recently I was into ASP.NET MVC because of it’s possibility to extending, modifying and doing pretty much whatever you want with it. And while I’ve got rather proficient in plugging stuff in it’s pipeline and/or doing custom stuff like routing, binding or results, it never changed one fact about MVC – it’s big, really big. And the truth is, some times we don’t want so much. That’s why I wanted to give Nancy a go for some time, below you’ll find some of my first thoughts. And i must tell you now, it...

Maile, smoki i tajemnice i HoloLens, czyli – Daj się poznać! Daj się poznać to już druga edycja konkursu organizowanego przez Maćka Aniserowicza. Tym razem nie może i mnie tam zabraknąć 🙂 W tym roku postanowiłem, iż muszę wystartować.

Since my project will be hosted on Azure App Services I want to ensure that every pushed commit will land in cloud environment and will be available outside of my local, dev machine. As close to it’s intended, production-like environment as possible. And with Azure App Services you can achieve basic continuous delivery without taking a sweat.
