Adventures in .NET

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?

In a lot of codebases, security isn't a priority until it is too late. Everyone makes mistakes but the question is do you learn from your mistakes or repeat them over and over. Christos Matskas returns to the podcast to discuss some common security mistakes and better ways to make security part of your development process. Our discussion includes .NET Framework web configs, secret storage, databases, identity and more. We even go over some of the mistakes we have made in our own code and how we learned from those mistakes. Is there a mistake you made that you will never forget?

In today's episode Carl Layton returns to the podcast to discuss Azure Functions. What are Azure Functions and how do they work? Functions are one of the serverless compute options from Azure. You can use Functions to build web APIs, respond to database changes, manage message queues, and more. Beyond that we look at the security, performance and scaling of Azure Functions. What is it like to write code, debug and deploy Functions? What costs are involved to use Azure Functions and is it worth it for you or your company. Have you used Azure Functions? What is your experience? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.

There is a lot that goes into interviewing for a job, both for the interviewer(s) and the interviewee. The panelists talk about their experiences over the years from both sides. What questions should you ask? What shouldn't you ask? Should coding be involved or not? How many interviews should you expect to have at one company? Do you cast a wide net when interviewing or do you focus on a couple of companies? We discuss all of these questions and more. What advice would you give someone interviewing for a position?

In this episode we get the pleasure of picking the brain of the lead designer of C#, Mads Torgersen. Mads has been the lead designer for more than five years now and has worked on the language for over fifteen years. Our discussion covers multiple topics including the growth of C#, being backward compatible and how different languages incorporate ideas from each other. We also dig into the specifics of things like async/await, default interfaces and dynamics. On top of all that we get a peek at the future of C# and what we might see in the next couple of versions. What would you ask Mads about C# if you had the chance? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.

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?

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. Have you had to handle authentication in a Blazor app? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.
