HIPAA is often seen as a dull legal set of rules, but for a developer, it has a direct impact on code and architecture. Let’s break down what the standard actually requires. In simple terms, HIPAA requires that Protected Health…
When deploying a project in Azure, it’s important to correctly configure virtual machines (VMs) and the network from the very beginning. Even for a single application, poor architecture can lead to security, availability, and cost issues. 1. Choosing a Virtual…
I think it’s safe to say that specialists of different ages mean different things when they mention multithreading in .NET. Those who started with .NET long ago thought in terms of threads. Those who began with async/await often understand it…
If you’re a .NET developer, you’ve probably already worked with Razor — a syntax that lets you embed C# directly into HTML. It’s very handy for generating server-rendered pages, but interactivity traditionally relied on form posts and full page refreshes.…
Right now it’s not about the clouds that fly in the sky (although there are different types like cirrus, cumulus, stratus…). It’s about clouds that count — a whole world of different components used for various purposes. So let’s break…
Navigation on a phone is always a bit tricky. There are fewer ways to interact compared to, say, a laptop. UI elements need to be larger because a finger on a small phone screen is much bigger than a mouse…
I remember a video that amazed me in my youth — in the years when there were no personal computers, no good graphics, no multi-colored moving pictures. Essentially, the video was a rather crude cartoon, monochrome, with huge pixels, about…
Everyone who works with high-level object-oriented languages knows that the basic way to describe a type is with a class (this name exists in C#, C++, Kotlin, and Python). Typically, an object created this way lives on the heap. For…
One of the many roles of a modern smartphone is being a source of games. That’s why a huge portion of mobile apps are games. Among them, the spinning wheel (roulette-style) game is one of the most attractive: it requires…
If you work with C#/.NET, you’ve almost certainly heard of, tried, or used both architectural patterns. But let’s be honest — many practicing developers aren’t too fond of the abstract language of design. We just take an existing template from…
