The Main method is the entry point of a C# application. When the application started, the Main method is the first method that is invoked. In fact, the Main method may not be the first method of the assembly to be executed when the application starts.
Transport Layer Security (5/6)This post is part of a series. Foreword: This article was inspired by two similar endeavours: TLS Illustrated and A walk-through of an SSL handshake. Please go check out those authors' work too.
Using Immutable Data Structures - Spencer Schneidenbach - NDC Oslo 2021Immutable objects - aka objects whose properties and fields can't change after instantiation - are one of the fundamental pillars of functional programming. Yet, it also has other great uses in classically object-oriented languages such as C#. Immutability can help make your code cleaner, easier to
Plain Text - Dylan Beattie - NDC Oslo 2021Software is complicated. Machine learning, microservice architectures, message queues... every few months there's another revolutionary idea to consider, another framework to learn. And underneath so many of these amazing ideas and abstractions is text. When you work in software, you spend your life
[Crypto] Licensing your software with OpenSSL. Using license keys. Software copy-protection.[Crypto] Licensing your software OpenSSL. Using license keys. Software copy-protection. You saw this many times: a license file with a name, serial number, features supported and some code. And some info of a computer that license is connected to, like MAC address.
A Mind Is BornMaking a demo in just 256 bytes would be a formidable challenge regardless of platform. A Mind Is Born is my attempt to do it on the Commodore 64. In the absence of an actual 256-byte compo, it was submitted to the Oldskool 4K Intro compo at Revision 2017, where it ended up on 1st place.
An Efficient WiFi Button For Home Automation Using ESP-NOW | ~68 Years From 2xAA Batteries | DIY E64This is version 2 of the WiFi button that we built a couple of videos ago. This version improves upon the efficiency by using ESP-NOW as the main communication protocol allowing us to trigger automations in near real time, that's about 280 milliseconds on average. The power consumption is very low
What are the lesser known but useful data structures?There are some data structures around that are really useful but are unknown to most programmers. Which ones are they? Everybody knows about linked lists, binary trees, and hashes, but what about Skip lists and Bloom filters for example.
HTTP ToolkitWow. I switched from AdvancedRestCient and mitmproxy to @HttpToolkit and my life has just changed. I'm noticing additional traffic from my printer I didn't notice with mitmproxy. The configuration is also much more easier to achieve. I've never been a fan of Postman or Insomnia.
in (Generic Modifier) (C# Reference)For generic type parameters, the in keyword specifies that the type parameter is contravariant. You can use the in keyword in generic interfaces and delegates. Contravariance enables you to use a less derived type than that specified by the generic parameter.
