Middleware in programming is a crucial concept that can sometimes be challenging to understand. In the blog post below, I will try to clarify and make it simple to understand using the .NET framework. To better understand this complex concept, let’s take as an example the process of building a house. I am no house […]

Parallelism is an important concept in programming because it divides tasks and allocates those tasks to separate threads for processing. In .NET/C# for parallelism you can use the System.Threading and System.Threading.Tasks namespaces. These namespaces provide several classes and methods to help you implement parallelism in your .NET applications. In C#, you can several types of

Per definition, Tuples are a data structure that provides an easy way to represent a single set of data in C#. They were first introduced in .NET Framework 4.0 specifically for F#. In C#, Tuples are represented by the System.Tuple and System.ValueTuple classes. System.Tuple and System.ValueTuple have some differences related to syntax, mutability, and memory

Throttling is the process of limiting the rate at which requests are made to an API. In a .NET Core API, you can limit API calls by implementing throttling. There are several ways to implement throttling in a .NET Core API. One approach is to use a middleware component that sits between the client and
