Setting IHostingEnvironment.IsDevelopment as True in an ASP.NET 5 Application

I am now in Frankfurt, sipping my coffee in a Starbucks shop and enjoying its rubbish internet connection (as usual). I have just thrown away 10 minutes from my life by trying to figure out why my ASP.NET 5 application wasn't showing the error page. So, I wanted to write this quick and dirty blog post for people who will potentially have the same problem :)

Here is the piece of code I have inside the Configure method of my Startup class:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostin...

Speaking at Web European Conference 2015 in Milan

I am really excited that I will be speaking at Web European Conference 2015 in Milan on the 26th of September.

That Conference 2015 and My ASP.NET 5 Talk

This week, I had the privilege to attend That Conference as a speaker to give a talk on ASP.NET 5. The conference is all done and dusted now. Also, I am tired traveling between Turkey, US and UK :) Even if I now want to lie down lazily all day long and do nothing else, I still want to write about my conference experience.

The Conference

That Conference was a unique experience for me. It marked my first ever visit to US and I had a chance to visit two cities: Chicago and Wisconsin Dells. As f...

Playing Around with Docker: Hello World, Development Environment and Your Application

When you have a urge to blog about something, it's mostly the case that you have just learnt something :) Well, it's the case for me now. I have been looking into Linux space for a while now and I didn't expect it to go this smooth. It is wonderful and I must admit that I have been missing on too many nice stuff by sticking with Windows for my development environment. However, I have one thing, one big thing that I have no regret at all: .NET ecosystem. It's one of the great ecosystems to wri...

Elasticsearch Array Contains Search With Terms Filter

Here is a quick blog post on Elasticsearch and terms filter while I still remember how the hell it works :) Yes, this is possibly the 20th time that I looked for how to achieve array contains functionality in Elasticseach and it's a clear sign for me that I need to blog about it :)

I created the index called movies (mostly borrowed from Joel's great Elasticsearch 101 blog post) and here is its mapping:

PUT movies/_mapping/movie { "movie": { "properties": { "director": { "type": "string" }, "...

Progressive .NET Tutorials 2015 and Recording Videos of My ASP.NET 5 Talks

Last Friday, I was at Progressive .NET Tutorials 2015 in London and I gave two talks on ASP.NET 5. The conference was really good, I had a chance to meet with new great people. One nice thing about this conference is that the sessions were recorded. You can check out all the recordings here. My two talks on ASP.NET 5 were also recorded:

Slides of Introduction to Database Lifecycle Management Talk at /dev/summer 2015

Yesterday, I was at /dev/summer 2015, Cambridge. It was a really good event and I had a chance to attend a few talks on Go Language, Web Profiling and Open Source.

I also gave a talk on DLM (Database Lifecycle Management), which is what we have been working at Redgate for a while to make it easy to adopt.

I have uploaded the slides under my Speaker Deck account.

Also, here are the links I have at the end of the slides and a few more:

Upcoming Conferences That I am Speaking at

I have a few speaking activities lined up in upcoming weeks and I thought it would be good to share those with you all :) I am very excited about them as I don’t have much international speaking experience and these will be a really good learning opportunities for me, while having a chance to share the knowledge at the same time. As you can imagine, most of these talks are related to ASP.NET 5 which is the best thing that has happened to .NET Web stack if you ask me :) Here are all of them:

Exciting Things About ASP.NET 5 Series: Build Only Dependencies

Web development experience with .NET has never seen a drastic change like this since its birth day. Yes, I’m talking about ASP.NET 5 :) I have been putting my toes into this water for a while now and a few days ago, I started a new blog post series about ASP.NET 5 (with hopes that I will continue this time :)). To be more specific, I’m planning on writing about the things I am actually excited about this new cloud optimized (TM) runtime. Those things could be anything which will come from ASP...

First Hours with Visual Studio Code on Mac and Windows

Today is one of those awesome days if you are building stuff on .NET platform. Microsoft announced bunch of stuff at Build 2015 keynote a few hours ago and one of them is Visual Studio Code, a free and stripped down version of Visual Studio which works on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows. It leverages bunch of existing open source software like OmniSharp, Electron. Most of all, this was my #bldwin wish :)

Changing my mind, my wish #bldwin announcement: VS for Mac.
