Asynchronous operations in ASP.NET MVC have always been left a bit behind.

Simple explanation of the Repository pattern(leoncullens.nl)

submitted by Avalaxy(145) 30 days, 19 hours ago

One of my favorite design patterns is the 'repository pattern'. That's why I decided to dedicate a complete blog post to it. Using the repository pattern in your application can yield a lot of benefits, such as improved testability, easier ways to implement caching and transactions, avoidance of code duplication and it allows you to replace the data source easier (although that probably won't happen too often). read more...

In .NET, open source does not beget open source(bvanderveen.com)

submitted by alexandrul.ct(475) 30 days, 20 hours ago

Ruby, Python, Perl, Node, and Clojure all have, to varying degrees, a unified story for defining a project, translating its source code into runnable code, running a test suite, building distributable packages, and resolving and installing a project or package’s dependencies.

submitted by deanomachino(700) 24 days, 4 hours ago
