Just finished the course “ASP.NET Core: Building a GraphQL API” by Ervis Trupja! Check it out: https://lnkd.in/eV_AqKfN #apidevelopment #aspnetcore #graphql. Overall good course to get your hands dirty on how to integrate GraphQL with C# in a real project, learning about types, mutations, schema, queries and to do some testing using  GraphiQL. This tool has good auto-completion feature. Wanted to know if there is something more intuitive for testing query/mutations and found this https://lnkd.in/eiYtxRVw It will be good start to understand over/under fetching which basically is solved by using GraphQL allowing the client to request exactly what it needs. This reduces the amount of data transferred over the network and can lead to significant performance improvements.

Why is Domain-Driven Design not so popular among developers? 🤔 Despite recognizing the benefits of DDD in managing complex projects and facilitating communication between technical and non-technical team members, I observe quite limited adoption among developers 😯 Here are a few reasons why I think this happens: ▶️ Complexity and initial learning curve: DDD comes with a steep learning curve for teams not accustomed to analysis of the domain. Concepts like Bounded Context, Ubiquitous Language, and Aggregates can be overwhelming without proper guidance. ▶️ Deep domain knowledge: DDD demands a substantial understanding of the business domain, which requires developers to engage closely with domain experts. Not all developers are inclined to invest their time in acquiring deep domain knowledge, especially when they could be having fun with technologies and applying another methodology called HDD (Hype-Driven Development 😀). ▶️ Misconceptions and misapplications: Some teams attempt to adopt DDD by first diving into its technical aspects (Tactical Domain-Driven Design). This often leads to poorly executed projects that fail to deliver the expected benefits, thereby discouraging further use of DDD. ❗ At the same time, I’m not saying that DDD is beneficial for every project. For simpler applications, the overhead of implementing DDD might not justify the benefits and could lead to postponed releases. ❓ What’s Your attitude toward DDD and how do You usually encourage your colleagues to start using DDD where it’s beneficial?

The criticism that abstractions and design patterns receive in .NET is somewhat unjustified. When I build small applications, I approach them as if they might one day grow into large enterprise solutions. Yes, this approach involves more work, some of which may seem unnecessary at first. However, it has significantly deepened my understanding of software design and actually made it easier to simplify complex systems. For those eager to dive into abstractions and patterns, I suggest honing your skills by creating your own templates or adapting from others out there. This exercise can be invaluable in mastering the art of balancing complexity and simplicity in software design.

How to simplify complex object creation? Let's learn about the 𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 👇 Constructors can quickly become unwieldy when building complex objects in C#, especially when dealing with optional parameters. The Fluent Builder Pattern offers an elegant solution, allowing developers to simplify object construction through method chaining while maintaining readability and flexibility. Scenario: You are tasked with creating a car class with multiple properties, such as make, model, year, and color. A straightforward approach would involve constructing the object using a constructor. As more properties are added or some properties become optional, the constructor’s parameter list grows longer, making it difficult to manage. This leads to code that is hard to read, maintain, and extend over time.   Enter the Fluent Builder Pattern: https://lnkd.in/dS2timTF

Angular 18 is released and can be installed ahead of its Premiere scheduled 11 hours from now . Angular 17 really made some huge improvements in terms of optimization and speed. Excited as angular is inheriting some of the features from Wiz( an internal framework used at Google) , which powers best of google like search, payments etc., and is known for its performance centric abilities. What angular 18 offers now in its first iteration: A new zoneless paradise for Angular developers! Material 3: It's stable, it's shiny, and it comes with deferrable views and built-in control flow. Server-side rendering gets a better debugging support, Angular Material hydration support, and event replay, all powered by the same library as Google Search! #angular #javascript #typescript

Everyone is on board with writing simple and clear code. The challenge is that "simple and clear" is both subjective and context-dependent. For instance, in .NET, most for-each loops can be replaced with a LINQ select method, reducing several lines of code down to a single line method call. Is the LINQ select simpler? Is it clearer? On the one hand, it's hard to argue that one line of code isn't simpler than a block. On the other hand, what if what you have to do in that inline select is less declarative than what gets spelled out in the for-each version? Many more developers are familiar with for-each loops than LINQ selects. Would they think the LINQ select is simpler? This especially comes up a lot when we're talking about good patterns and practices in object-oriented programming. Highly decoupled code or a rich domain model often seems "complicated" to developers who have never worked with it, especially compared to their god classes and stored procedures. But those same "complicated" patterns often make the code far easier to change with less risk, and they bring clarity to the business domain in ways that your "my class is a database table" models do not. So, your developers might find more tightly coupled code easier to understand, but more difficult to change. What I'm trying to say is, when you're harping about writing the simplest code possible or writing clearer code, just keep in mind that there is no objective definition for what makes code simple or clear.

One of THE most underrated time savers in huge .NET projects: Having a solution where you can easily resolve merge conflicts. When several developers at once change the solution structure: - add a new project - reorganize projects into folders .sln files with all those GUIDs become a giant mess and cause merge conflict. Lately, Visual Studio introduced a new, simpler ".slnx" file format, That removes all those complicated GUIDs from the solution file. It's available starting from Visual Studio 2022 17.10 as a preview feature. To use it: In Tools -> Options -> Preview Features enable the "Use Solution File Persistence Model" Then File -> Save YourSolution.sln As... And pick .slnx file format. Going forward, it will improve readability. And help avoid painful merge conflicts. Bye, bye, confusing GUIDs, you won't be missed. *** P.S. Lack of simplicity, not lack of time, is a true enemy in every C# project. ❌ Big classes. ❌ Poorly written business logic. ❌ Over-engineered software architecture. Inside my newsletter, you get tools, strategies, and systems to eliminate code complexity.
