Lay off the repository pattern and other controversial opinions - .NET 123
Today we talk with Anthony Trad - he lays his case for why layering the repository pattern over Entity Framework is sometimes not a best idea for your codebase. Depending on the context, you could well just be over engineering. After that, we tackle a couple of other patterns such as the specification pattern and the mediator pattern and talk about when it is and is not appropriate to use them.

Learning By Doing - .NET 122
Believe it or not, software development is not an easy job. Each business domain is different, you are constantly learning something new and it takes work to stay on top of the right patterns and practices. How do you learn the right patterns and practices though? Maybe you read a lot of books, watch a lot of videos, or you go to meetups and conferences. The thing is those resources only take you so far and you will find that there are things you still don't know. Hamed Shirbandi created TaskoMask to help him understand .NET patterns and practices and to show examples of real world challenges. In this episode we discuss how he architected the open-source project and some of the different technologies that he used. What have you had to learn by doing?

Making a Wordle clone and more - .NET 121
In today's episode we range far and wide over several topics. Our guest, Ferry To, works at a startup and we discuss some of the difficulties of working in a fast paced environment and how he and his team have worked through those difficulties. We also talk about Azure, automation, SignalR and Blazor. Ferry created a Wordle clone using Blazor and GitHub pages so we talk a bit about what Wordle is and the benefits of using Blazor instead of a JavaScript framework.

Refactoring legacy code to use async / await - .NET 120
Dominic Ullmann comes on the show to tell us how async / await works and the benefits of using it rather than making database calls synchronously. He talks about his recent experience converting a 500k+ line of code legacy application to use the async / await pattern. Too big to do by hand, he discusses using AsyncGenerator - an internal tool developed by the nHibernate project to auto-generate async versions of your methods.

Where is your code? - .NET 119
In this episode the panelists talk about source control. What is source control? How do you use it? Do you need it? As a developer today the majority of us are probably using Git in some form or fashion. Even though it feels like Git has been around forever that wasn't always the case. Shawn, Wai and Caleb remember the days before Git using SourceSafe or Subversion. Things have come a long way since the days of SourceSafe but that doesn't mean that Git is necessarily easy or intuitive. The panelists take a closer look at some of the Git commands like merge, stash, squash and rebase. Do you use source control? If so has it helped make your life easier?

Product Management? - .NET 111
Most developers we know find project management to be a necessary evil but without it a lot of us would be stumbling around in the dark. Shawn and Caleb look back over their careers to discuss different project management methodologies. Whether it is waterfall, agile, scrum, or none of these, projects are hard to manage. Both Shawn and Caleb have seen a lot of different ways that projects can be managed or mismanaged and they have differing opinions on what works best. Join us for this episode to find out which they prefer and what allows them to focus on getting to work coding. What is your preferred project management style?

What is a BFF? - .NET 110
Wai and Caleb sit down to discuss how authentication is evolving and how it works in Blazor. Identity server is now Duende server and with that comes the Backend for Frontend (BFF) pattern. From an authentication persepective this pattern can benefit SPA's because of the way it handles cookies and tokens. Caleb is in the process of integrating a .NET 6 Blazor app with Identity server 4 (IDS4) and wanted to use BFF but it isn't an option. We discuss alternatives and how those alternatives might be viewed from the business and developer perspectives. Join us and find out where Caleb ended up on his authentication journey.

Mastering SignalR - .NET 109
Have you ever used SignalR in your development? .NET might have used it for the code you wrote and you didn't realize it. Kevin Griffin has used SignalR for multiple projects over the years and joins us to discuss how you can use it in your development. SignalR uses a pub/sub model and is great for applications that need immediate feedback. Kevin used it for a city's emergency system to provide alerts to first responders within seconds of an emergency being recorded. Like most technologies SignalR can be problematic if used incorrectly. We get to hear a couple of stories where Kevin had to work to fix troublesome SignalR implementations. Have you developed applications that could benefit from using SignalR?
