Type-safety across .Net and TypeScript – Why?

A little while ago, I asked on Twitter whether someone would be interested in reading about how we generate types from our .Net backend to be used in our TypeScript client. So, here we are. I’ll cover the following topics: Why do we even bother?Generating TypeScript constants from .Net constantsFinding the types used in communication between the .Net backend and the TypeScript clientGenerating TypeScript classes from .Net typesGenerating Angular Services from .Net WebApi...

Our journey to F#: libraries we use

O

When I started with F#, I had some problems to find good libraries for the stuff we need in our software. Sometimes the problem was to find a library at all, sometimes several libraries provide similar functionality. So here is a list of the libraries I like to use (what we use and why).

C# vs. F#

C

I dared to ask two questions on twitter:

What makes your daily developer life easier in F# compared to C#?What is better in C# than F#?

This post summarizes the answers and my own opinion on where C# and F# shine.

Our journey to F#: persistency

O

Prepare for a long post about how we persist data with F# using Dapper into (Azure) SQL Server. I will also show, how we can run our tests either with an in-memory database simulation or a real database. As always, if you spot something that can be improved, please let me know. We are still learning…

Our journey to F#: bye-bye fluent syntax Version 2

O

In the previous blog post “bye-bye fluent syntax”, I wrote about a way how to implement an equivalent to a fluent syntax in F#, without classes and interfaces, using discriminated unions.

Steve Gilham pointed me to a much simpler solution (many thanks again!). And it looks like this:

Our journey to F#: Equality for free

O

We had one kind of defects in our C# that was very annoying: hidden usage of equality and missing equality members on involved classes.

We invested a lot of time to get rid of these in our C# code. Luckily, in F#, this problem does not exist because of the compiler.

But, let’s start at the beginning…
