Good point about learning more than one tool that does the same thing - e.g. logging - log4net, nlog etc. You might move from one company to another and the 2nd company uses logging just not the same one you used at the previous company. Great answers for the up and coming devs out there!

Logging is not as easy as it seems with framework now available. Best logging does not impact production env if it is turned off or levele is > Error, it does not impact website with milion of users requests in prod until you need analyze problem. Logging is quite hard to do right. Log only usefull infos, properly structured, level structured. Usefull logs are hard no matter what framework do you use. They must be usefull more then large :-D

Great stuff! Thanks Tim!

I'm feeling this is not relating to techniques but some general subjects you should know. Programming techniques for me are: XP programming, pair programming, SOLID, KISS, DRY etc.

@IAmTimCorey

That's the tricky bit of trying to call them techniques (the word used in the question, which is why I used it). The items you mentioned are more principles (theory). I talked more about practical implementation. For example, dependency injection is a way to implement the D in SOLID (they aren't the same, but I explain that in my SOLID videos).

Answer is it should grow and evolve with the app if you can refactor it. There is no right answer and it does depend on things. As long as you enforce a 1 thing / type per file you can move things around. Having interfaces allows you to move files across projects. I recommend Steve ardalis clean architecture as a starting point, try to identify features in your all than can potentially be made into libs and brought in via nice service collection extensions.

Hi Tim! Thanks for covering another great topic. I have a different question. I need an laptop. I consider to buy a new m1 mac for using .Net development as an self taught learner. However, I realize that you and other .Net KZreadrs use Windows. That makes me think if it is a good idea to buy Mac silicon instead of Windows laptop. What do you think?

@portismouth

Жыл бұрын

Not Tim... but hope this helps. It depends on what you're used to - if you're used to Windows, stick with that. The Intel chips are just as good for most things and, for what it's worth, there are still things that are not compatible with Apple Silicon. You're also in trouble with Apple Silicon if you need to have more than one version of .NET on your machine. Finally, if you ever want to use Visual Studio the Mac version isn't as good as the Windows version. All that being said, you can make it work but you might run into some annoying obstacles with Apple Silicon

I think the analogy is sound (pun intended). In order to learn how to write code, you have to experience it and try. There aren't set scenarios that require a certain tool. Every situation will be different. That's why we say "it depends" a LOT. It takes experience in order to know when each item is useful.

Disagree on the sql side, clear that anyone in the profession are so much better at web and ui work at the expense of their db knowledge when compared to the vets which were forced to put their db in the centre of everything. Also, bad sql and table design isn’t an issue like it was 20yrs ago, compute , ram and disk speed negated the issue.

@IAmTimCorey

Жыл бұрын

I strongly disagree with this take. Your data is the center of every application, including web applications. Not knowing how to properly work with data from the database to the UI and back hampers your ability to make good choices in the front-end. As for bad SQL design not being an issue anymore because computers are better, that's a hard no. Poor database performance can and does absolutely sink apps. Amazon found that a 100ms reduction in page load speed cost them 1% in sales. The thing is, that isn't exclusive to Amazon. That's something that happens with sites of all sizes. Guess where most of the performance gains and losses are on a website? In the database.
