Big O notation can be confusing, but Polyglot Notebooks and a simple magic command can help simplify it.

Mermaid.js Timeline charts let you quickly represent high-level timelines for projects and product development cycles using simple markdown.

Let’s take a look at Polyglot Notebooks and explore how we can use them to write C# code in an interactive and sharable notebook format.

Dotnet is wonderful, but it’s 20+ years old. C# continues to grow and this causes learning issues. Here’s a set of settings that I believe leads to a more beginner-friendly dotnet development experience.

Over the weekend I discovered a new feature in Visual Studio 2022 for C# code. This feature, which I’m referring to as “Inline Diagnostics” allows you to see compiler warnings and errors in your editor window without needing to hover over the tooltips.

Expression-bodied members in C# can be complex and confusing. Lets talk about the use of fat arrows to declare simple methods and properties and its impact on code and developers.

New and old ways of creating your own exceptions in dotnet with C# 11 and .NET 7

Most of the new features in C# 11 are incremental language improvements. However, one of these features stuck me immediately as something we don’t need – and also really need to do more.

The C# 11 required keyword lets you reduce constructor boiler plate code and ensure that new objects have required property members set when using inline initializers.

In this article we’ll explore the top 10 mistakes I see new and seasoned developers make with exception management in dotnet source code. These principles should be valid for all dotnet languages, but examples will be provided in C#.
