In our age of sophisticated IDEs, cloud-based development platforms, and feature-rich code editors, it may seem quaint to turn to the humble notepad for app development. However, this unassuming tool can actually be a powerful asset in the right hands. Let’s explore the art of using a notepad as a vehicle for buildi...

Generative AI is transforming the software development industry. AI-powered coding tools are assisting programmers in their workflows, while jobs in AI continue to increase. But the shift is also evident in academia—one of the major avenues through which the next generation of software engineers learn how to code.Co...

Zubin Pratap got his foot in the tech door after months of networking and research about the industry.

ActivityPub is a specification for a decentralized social network. Decentralized here means that anyone can run a node that is a full member of the network. Anyone on any server can follow, like, and communicate with any member on any other server. The W3C recommended the official ActivityPub spec in 1998, but it's ...

Creating a Flappy Bird Clone with Ruby — How has it been ten years since Flappy Bird was the hit game of the moment?

A new breed of AI-powered coding tools have emerged—and they’re claiming to be more autonomous versions of earlier assistants like GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, and Tabnine.One such new entrant, Devin AI, has been dubbed an “AI software engineer” by its maker, applied AI lab Cognition. According to Cognition...

The article demonstrates the importance of using StringComparison options for efficient string comparison in.NET. How you compare strings can significantly impact your application performance. The ToLower method creates a new string memory allocation for each comparison, leading to unnecessary allocations. The OrdinalIgnoreCase option is ideal for case-insensitive comparisons where cultural rules do not apply.

Heap allocations aren’t entirely bad but when an object is allocated on a heap it contributes to the garbage collection cycles which in turn reduces overall application performance. In case of excessive heap allocation, the garbage collector can lead to GC pauses. One approach to optimize resource usage in async code is by using ValueTask syntax.

This article delves into the performance of collection initializers in C#, comparing various initialization methods using BenchmarkDotNet. It explores the impact of collection expressions, capacity settings, and manual initialization techniques on code efficiency, providing insights for optimization strategies.

Using traditional locking techniques can sometimes cause performance bottlenecks for atomic operations. The.Net provide a powerful tool called the “Interlocked” class for all atomic operations through which developers can reduce contention and improve the performance of the application. The 30 Day.Net Challenge challenges developers to learn how to use Interlocked classes.

Developers often make objects instantiated as soon as the application starts or when a class is instantiated, regardless of whether they are immediately needed or not. The.Net makes it easier to implement using Lazy syntax and also safe. To unlock the full potential of your.Net Application, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the Lazy class.

The article highlights the importance of limiting the concurrent asynchronous operations which in turn improves performance. Prerequisites for Developers include basic understanding of C# programming language and understanding of asynchronous programming using await.

Memory leaks in Go A useful article to go over commont leaks in Go, method to find them.

Rust is famously build for the multi-threaded-processor world. From its core ownership-enforcement-model up to the type-based Sync + Send-types, all is around allowing the compiler to ensure memory safety and consistency across thread boundaries. And though the std also has collections (like HashMap and BTreeSet), A...

The article demonstrates the built-in functions while working with file system paths. It makes it easier to handle file paths. The code below provides the path to the Windows My Documents folder equivalent or the user’s HOME directory, regardless of the operating system, including Linux.

In this article, I have compiled some of the most useful developer tools, that will help you to speed up your daily workflow and improve your productivity.

The comprehensive C# Cheat Sheet is designed to aid developers in mastering key syntax and concepts related to C# programming.

In C# 12, primary constructors play a crucial role in defining the behaviour of classes and structs. By adding parameters to a struct or class declaration, you can create a primary constructor. Primary constructors can be leveraged in inheritance hierarchies. When a derived class has its primary constructor, it can invoke the base class’s primary constructor using the base keyword.

The latest release of.NET 9 includes two new methods: CountBy and AggregateBy, along with the introduction of the Index method. CountBy method offers a convenient way to calculate the frequency of each key in a collection without the need for intermediate groupings via GroupBy. Aggregate by enables developers to implement more general-purpose workflows for aggregating state by key.

·FollowWe’re in the midst of midterm season and for computer science majors, that means doing what they hate most: coding on paper.There’s no syntax highlighting, auto-formatting, or error messages. You can be 10 lines deep into your solution, realize you’ve made a mistake, and have to erase and rewrite everything.I...
