VISUG: Future of the Web

This Thursday I’m giving a session at the VISUG(Belgian Visual Studio User Group) together with Kevin DeRuddere about the Future of the web:

In this full evening on the future of the web, Visug offers you an evening with 2 sessions on HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.

Session 1: Everything you need to know to get you started with HTML5 (Kevin DeRudder)
HTML5, HTML5, HTML5 everything is HTML5. Should we really implement it in our web apps. Well yes, why not?
In this quick overview you will get some interesting points to get you started. We will have a look at some of the new tags, forms, canvas and what the future will bring.
Level 200

Session 2: JavaScript OMG! : An introduction to the unusual and unexpected features of JavaScript(Bart Wullems).
This session is an introduction to the weird side of JavaScript, and it definitely has a weird side! .NET developers will find a lot of intriguing "features" when they begin to write code in the world's most widely used language. Join us to learn about all the gotchas to watch out for and discover some of the great functionality that JavaScript has to offer…

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
