Concepts

The recording for An Introduction to Low-level Concurrency in .NET with guest speaker Szymon Kulec is now available on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtUrG--oMLo We'll be discussing and understanding low-level async primitives while keeping the topic relatively straightforward. We'll also be walking through Volatile, Interlocked, and other things-which-must-not-be-named. We'll see how all these concepts are used in the .NET runtime and how they are utilized. After this talk, you will have a good grasp about why and when these concepts are useful. While you may not end up u

As developers, we find ourselves in a renaissance of API design philosophies. There is REST, HTTP APIs, GraphQL, SOAP, and the list continues to grow. Given all the choices, we can understand that it can be difficult to tell which one to use. In this post, we'd like to introduce you to gRPC, one of the newer approaches .NET developers have in designing their APIs. The method is gaining popularity due to its efficiency, contract-based design, interoperability across technology stacks, and code-generation tooling. By the end of this post, you'll have an idea of what gRPC is, what makes it
