I have an obsession with vanity metrics. They're not supposed to be useful, but I think there is an excellent arguement for tracking them.

Our team with one product grew to include two new teams. This meant more people, larger tech stack, and more complexity when it came to support and future growth.

Last week marks the first anniversary of my course, SignalR Mastery, which I launched on Udemy on January 11th, 2021. In private, I've been pretty detailed on the experience of building this course.

I knew that I wanted to move this application to .NET 6, as it would be the new LTS version, and I was foregoing several dependency updates. In particular, there was one dependency that was still based on .NET Framework that was giving me concern. It never made the jump to .NET Standard, so I worried about future compatibility.

Recently, I regained some of the rights to some video courses I've built over the past two years. Because this was specially created content, I wanted to see if there was a way that I could

Kevin, I have two clients. Client 1 sends a message to client 2. Client 1 loses its connection to the server. Client 2, during this time, sends a message to Client 1. That message is lost because Client 1 was disconnected. How can we solve this problem?

Recently, I've been building a handful of Azure Logic Apps that work with Stripe webhooks and I've need to convert Epoch DATETIME into a more useful format.

Failures in your application often are not just because the code you wrote is bad, it's often because services or dependencies you depend on are having an issue. Health Checks in ASP.NET Core help you identify the problem areas.

Do you want to become a master in building real-time applications on .NET? My new course is designed to take you on a journey through all the bits and advanced topics of SignalR, a real-time communication library built on .NET!
