I’ll make this post pretty quick. I’ve been looking at my Nuget packages and they’re kinda a mess. Not justthe packages, but the naming and branding. To start this annoying process, I’ve decided to move all my NuGet packages that support Minimal APIs to a common GitHub repo and package naming. MinimalApis.Discovery This package is to help you organize...

It’s been a while, huh? I haven’t been blogging much (as I’ve been dedicating my time to my YouTube channel) - so I thought it was time to give you a quick update. I have a series of Nuget packages that I’ve created to help with .NET Core development. Let’s take a look: MinimalApis.FluentValidation This is my newest package. It adds support to use...

In my last blog post, I mentioned that I was pivoting to what I’m doing next. It feels a lot of people are going through an upheaval. Is it systemic?

I’ve been posting and making videos about ideas I’ve had for discovering Minimal APIs instead of mapping them all in Program.cs for a while. I’ve finally codified it into an experimental nuget package. Let’s talk about how it works. I also made a Coding Short video that covers this same topic, if you’d rather watch than read: How It Works...

As you likely know if you’ve read my blog before, I have spent the last decade or so creating courses to be viewed on Pluralsight. I love making these kinds of video-based courses, but I’ve decided to get back to instructor led training a bit. While my video courses really benefit a lot of learners, I’ve realized that some people learn better with...
