.NET Conf 2025 Join the .NET Conf 2025 free virtual event November 11-13 2025 to learn about the newest developments across the .NET platform, open source, and dev tools. Mark your calendar!

Just wrapped up the Secret Decoder Challenge from #dotnetconf — and wow, that was a ride. Finding the clues was fun, but rearranging those final letters? That part took me forever 😅

Tons of meetings, tons of gadgets, and even some serious content, not to mention walking almost 40km over 3 days, it's time to say bye to #IFA for this time. I'll be sleeping for the next 3 days or so.

If you've ever struggled with your data access being a mess, hard to follow, and even harder to test, perhaps using the tried-and-true Repository pattern might be the right choice for you! In this… From Chaos to Order - Using the Repository Pattern the Right Way by Eric Johansson

Did you miss the session I had over at the Tulsa .NET User Group? Catch the VOD over at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtf9... ! #dotnet #repository #architecture #patterns

Repeat after me: Hiding your Knowledgebase or FAQ behind a LLM is not adding AI to your service. It's just destroying your UX. Please stop.

1/3 into the month, even with spending 2 full days experimenting with agent based coding using the #Claude 4 model, I've used 4% of my #Github #Copilot tokens. I'm not sure how people manage to run out. :S

Come on over to www.meetup.com/tulsadevelop... on the 29th of July and learn about the repository pattern in practice.

I'm on a boat. That is all, now back to our regular scheduled programming.

Needs more cowbell!

In my case, most of the things I build end up in a database or network call of some kind, which requires(or prefers) to be async. I'm already passing the cancellationtoken down, or at least I have it in the method signature, so I feel that the Async suffix is superfluous.

Do you use the Async suffix on your methods? In my opinion, if everything is async, then everything is async and it's not needed. The only exception is if there's both an async and sync version available.

It finally arrived! #mvpbuzz

As of yesterday, I’m proud and humbled to be counted among the #Microsoft #MVP Award recipients in the #.NET and Web Development categories. What a feeling! What a start to the new year! Catch me online or next in person at #Swetugg!

Oh package managers, how I hate to love you... #nuget #visualstudio

Happy holidays everyone! Don't forget to play with some tech between family time!

The Blazor Holiday Calendar 2024 Join us on a 25 day Blazor Holiday Extravaganza! Every day from December 1 until December 25 we'll be sharing awesome Blazor snippets created by the Telerik UI for Blazor team & guests from the .NET c...

Have a look at the December 16th Telerik Blazor Holiday Calendar and learn how two way databinding works at www.telerik.com/the-Blazor-H...!

Probably one of the best bee.. Ehm. Courses in the world. I can't recommend it enough!

Would you say that a technical requirement of defining your #Blazor parameters in the code-behind to get some pretty nice quality of life improvements is worth it? The rest of your code can go inline in the .razor file of course.

Well I guess I should start posting here then. :)

Working on a source gen for Blazor right now, more info forthcoming.

The room was full and some people didn't get in. Awesome that people are interested in what I had to say. ❤️ Thank you everyone who attended my session at #swetugg!

Good job! :D <3
