This is the first in a series of articles on containerizing .NET applications. We’ll explore how to containerize .NET applications using Dockerfiles and dotnet publish. Containers have become an essential part of the DevOps ecosystem, offering a lightweight, portable, and scalable solution for deploying applications. This process is crucial for developers looking to streamline app deployment in containerized environments, focusing on efficiency, security, compliance, and more.
Two Incredible Years at Microsoft: A Journey of Growth, Connection, and Remote Collaboration # As I sit at my desk, keyboard beneath my fingertips, I’m reminded that it’s been two years since I first embarked on my journey with Microsoft. Joining during COVID meant that I did not get the onboarding experiences of a lot of Microsoft employees, a trip and onboarding in Redmond. Today, as I write this reflection, I’m filled with a mixture of nostalgia and pride over how much I, and the team I belong to, have grown-despite the miles that separate us.
In today’s dynamic software development landscape, every second counts. Maximizing efficiency and ensuring error-free processes are top priorities for developers. GitHub Actions has already revolutionized workflow automation, and the game has just been upped with the introduction of its new Visual Studio Code (VSCode) extension. This article will explore these innovative features, shedding light on how they can supercharge your development workflow.
GitHub Actions: Automating Software Workflows Efficiently # GitHub Actions stands as one of the most versatile tools in the developer’s toolkit, allowing for comprehensive automation of software workflows. Its strength lies in its seamless integration with GitHub, offering flexible and potent Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) capabilities without the reliance on external platforms. This integration ensures that developers can focus on coding while GitHub Actions takes care of the build, test, and deployment processes. From facilitating automated build checks to executing comprehensive test suites and ensuring smooth deployments, GitHub Actions is the one-stop solution for developers looking to enhance their CI/CD workflows.
If you’re like me, you love discovering new ways to boost your productivity and workflows. One of my favorite tools is Draw.io. I’ve used the desktop tool and the site, but I found a new integration that has significantly elevated my VSCode experience: the Draw.io Integration extension.
