My developer productivity advice: #runcommute

This blog is about programming and software engineering and this post may look like yet another "how to be healthy and happy" blog at the first glance, but it is not! I think being productive is very important, especially if you are in the software business. And this post is all about productivity!

Referencing an F# library from C# on .NET Core

Aaaand a post again, which will be deprecated at some point: currently using both F# and C# in a .net core solution is possible, but needs some workaround. Here I describe how you can do it

Working with .net core - my summary after 6 months with ASP.NET Core on a side project

I have a side project which I started at the beginning of this year. One of the top goals of this project is to learn new things and i'm still at the beginning of this, but I already have many things working.

Migrating from ASP.net core RC1 to RC2 - Entity Framework Core

Asp.net core RC2 was officially released a few hours ago. I have a side-project, which I did not update until this point, so I developed on RC1-Update1 basis. The solution is a little bit bigger, it has 8 src projects and 4 tests. Most of them are C# projects and there are also a few F# projects. I have one project for the data access with Entity Framework Core.

project.json settings in ASP.NET Core

Lately I work a lot with ASP.NET Core and .net core. This is I think the biggest fully open source project Microsoft ever did and between RC1 and RC2 they made huge changes in the execution environment, which successfully confused me in many ways. But all this is fine, since it was only an RC1, and none said that the same stuff will RTM. In this post I summarize the most important settings in project.json

Talk: The Universal Windows Platform - One codebase for Mobile, Desktop, IoT, Xbox, Hololens, etc.

On the 14th of January I gave a talk at a local technology meetup in Linz called Technologieplauscherl about the Universal Windows Platform. This post is the written form of the talk, which was intended for people who do not know UWP, but have a strong background in software development (and it's even better if you have some knowledge about C#/XAML based development).

Porting a Windows 8 Store app to the Universal Windows Platform

Back in 2012 I published a small Windows Store app called PassworWallet, which already had a few thousand downloads over the years and when Windows 10 came out the daily 5-10 downloads went up to 15-20, so I thought it's time to release an update, so the last days I updated it to UWP. This post summarizes the update process.

Test In-App Purchases in Windows Universal Apps (UWP)

The Universal Windows Platform supports In-App Purchases (IAP). This feature was already available in Windows 8/8.1, but I have not used it before. In this post I explain how you can debug an IAP in a UWP app.
