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.
