As promised during the session, here are the links to the slides & code: OpenID Connect In-depth: code, slides Uncovering Swagger/OpenAPI: code, slides By the way,… Read more »
I often announce my new Pluralsight courses here, but this time it’s a bit of a special announcement: not 1, but 2 new courses, both covering REST in the recently-released ASP.NET Core 3! The first one is a beginner course: Building a RESTful API with ASP.NET Core 3. This is what you can expect: In… Read more »
I just finished my session on enterprise-level API security with oAuth2 / OIDC – so for all of you who were there (and those who weren’t :-)), as promised, you can find my slides and code on my Github. Here’s what it was all about: You probably know how to secure your API with access… Read more »
I’m happy to announce Marvin.Cache.Headers 4.0 was just released. This release retargets Marvin.Cache.Headers to .NET Standard 2.0. Next to bugfixes it also includes one breaking change: action-level attributes now override controller-level attributes instead of the other way around (as it should’ve been al along). This release has also been tested with the current prerelease version… Read more »

Quick heads-up that a new version of Marvin.JsonPatch is available. No big changes this time, just made sure the code is fully CLS compliant so it can be used in other .NET languages than C# as well. This was a feature request, as some companies only allow CLS compliant code. You can find the new… Read more »
Over the weekend my latest course was published. This one tackles 2 somewhat underused features of OpenAPI: generating code from an OpenAPI specification and learning how it can help with generating API tests. Here’s what you can expect: Testing an API improves its reliability. Generating client-side code helps with getting started fast when building a… Read more »
