QuestPDF is an open-source (OSS) .NET library for generating PDF documents. As part of our OSS Power-Ups, we highlight projects like QuestPDF to help raise awareness of noteworthy open-source projects in the .NET community. We also support projects through sponsorship and the expertise of our developer advocates to help with code, documentation, performance, and more. After our live stream with QuestPDF maintainer Marcin Ziąbek, we started looking into the performance of this popular .NET library. Since QuestPDF is used by many applications to generate all kinds of PDF documents, such as re

Working on new, large codebases can be quite daunting. You aren’t familiar with the structure, naming conventions, or a teammate’s quirky style that made it past code reviews. Fortunately, Rider contains many navigational features that you can use to help you get up to speed in new codebases quickly or move about familiar codebases more smoothly. In this post, we’ll look at common ways to navigate codebases using Rider’s navigational features. Folks familiar with a codebase can tell you that getting around it as efficiently as possible is important for productivity. Good navigational tools
