Extension methods in .NET are one of my favourite parts of using C#. In this post, I'll show how you can achive the same thing in JavaScript by taking advantage of it's prototypal nature.

Be warned though, there are a couple of caveats that we need to be aware of though. Turns out it's quite easy to get unexpected bugs and break 3rd party libraries.

Like them or loathe them, microservices are still all the rage. I'm seeing more and more companies go down this route. In particular, a common start to the journey into microservices is breaking up an existing monolith.

In this post, I'll show how you can split off several pieces of a large repository into a single, smaller repo while maintaining the git history. I'll be using AutoMapper as an example, but the same steps should apply if you need to split several project from a larger solution and keep the history.

I find myself switching between C# and JavaScript quite a lot. Even though I've been doing that for years, there are still occassions where I get caught out by a language feature.

Here I go through a few of the key differences which have caught me out in the hope that writing about them stops it happening in the future.

If only things were that simple!

I accidentally typed out a couple of .NET LINQ statements while writing JavaScript and drew a blank on the equivalent method names.

In the hope of not forgetting again, here I dig into the equivalent of the .NET LINQ Select method in JavaScript. They're not identical, but I think for most people the differences won't matter.
