Introducing AZDOI
For the last couple of months, I've had the pleasure of mentoring two talented .NET students, Andreas Siggelin and Elie Bou Absi. They've been working on various internal and customer projects, gaining practical experience in real-world software development. One project we've been collaborating on is AZDOI, a tool designed to document an Azure DevOps organization. After seeing its value in our work, we've decided to open source AZDOI, and in this blog post, I'll walk you through what it is and how you can use it.
Static Web App WASM Search
Static web apps excel at delivering pre-rendered content quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively. However, implementing search functionality with these same benefits has traditionally required compromising the static nature by using a backend or third-party service for a good experience. In this post, I'll demonstrate how to add powerful client-side search to a static website using WebAssembly. For my blog, I'm using the Statiq as my static site generator together with GitHub Pages as my hosting provider, but the approach described should work across most static site generators and hosting platforms.
SLNX Finally here📄
The Visual Studio solution files have long been an explicit and messy format, with lots of configuration that could be inferred from conventions. However, with the release of the latest .NET 9 SDK (9.0.200) earlier this month, things have changed. The new XML-based solution format, SLNX, is now out of preview, bringing clean, convention-based defaults while still allowing for explicit configuration when needed.
