• Simple ASP.NET Auth (Update)

  A few months ago I put together a simple starter project for ASP.NET authorisation without any dependencies or configuration setup requirements. The motivation was my frustration with the complexity of the tutorials for something that should really be quite simple. I did leave the token based authorisation only partially complete however - there was no refresh token included which was an oversight on my part. Anyhow, I’ve gone ahead and done this plus a few other changes.

• DotNet Test With NUnit

As usual I had to scour the net for bits of information and then cobble a solution together and this post is basically what I did to get from development to production.

• Simple ASP.NET Auth

  .NET Core has been with us for a while now and I was someone who did a fair bit of work with it early on.

My interfaces were something like the following.

• Exploring The DotNet Command

  I’ve been using the new dotnet command in my workflow for a little while (anyone that’s made the switch to .NET Core will soon realise you can’t stay away from it, probably even if you’re using Visual Studio). It’s quite powerful but I haven’t really explored it beyond the basics so thought I’d have a bash at using it for more than just doing simple build stuff.
