I was talking to my friend Rob Caron today. He produces Azure Friday with me – it’s our weekly video podcast on Azure and the Cloud. We were talking about the magic for a successful episode, but then realized the ingredients that Rob came up with were generic enough that […]

Last week on Twitter @getify started an excellent thread pointing out that we should be using HTTPS even on our local machines. Why? You want your local web development set up to reflect your production reality as much as possible. URL parsing, routing, redirects, avoiding mixed-content warnings, etc. It’s very […]
There’s a ton of great open source hardware solutions out there. Often they’re used to teach kids how to code, but their also fun for adults to learn about hardware! Ultimately that “LED Moment” can be the start of a love affair with open source hardware and software! Arduino is […]
I recently met some folks that didn’t know that SQL Server 2017 also runs on Linux but they really needed to know. They had a single Windows desktop and a single Windows Server that they were keeping around to run SQL Server. They had long-been a Linux shop and was now […]
The best way to learn about code isn’t just writing more code – it’s reading code! Not all of it will be great code and much of it won’t be the way you would do it, but it’s a great way to expand your horizons. In fact, I’d argue that […]
I’m continuing to explore testing and code coverage on open source .NET Core. Earlier this week I checked out coverlet. There is also the venerable OpenCover and there’s some cool work being done to get OpenCover working with .NET Core, but it’s Windows only. Today, I’m exploring AltCover by Steve […]
Last week I blogged about “dotnet outdated,” an essential .NET Core “global tool” that helps you find out what NuGet package reference you need to update. .NET Core Global Tools are really taking off right now. They are meant for devs – this isn’t a replacement for chocolatey or apt-get […]
The standard for browsing the web over a text-=based terminal is Lynx, right? It’s the legendary text web browser that you can read about at https://lynx.invisible-island.net/ or, even better, run right now with docker run –rm -it nbrown/lynx lynx http://hanselman.com/ Awesome, right? But it’s text. Lynx runs alt-text rather than […]
Travis CI is a sophisticated continuous integration and deployment service. It integrates with GitHub and runs tests on events like commits or pull requests. At this point, we published two hapi plugins. Testing both plugins is an essential part of our development flow to know they are mature and solid. […]
Retrofit is an excellent library to load data from an API or website. In a previous tutorial, you’ve learned how to load data from Wikipedia with jspoon. However, we didn’t cover displaying that data. In this tutorial, you’ll use a RecyclerView to display the section titles of a parsed Wikipedia […]
