Advanced Use Cases for the Repository Pattern in .NET
In our previous article, we looked at the basic patterns needed to implement a repository. In many cases these patterns were such a thin layer around the underlying data access technology they were essentially unnecessary. However, once you have a repository in place, many new opportunities become available.

Implementation Strategies for the Repository Pattern with Entity Framework, Dapper, and Chain
This article will focus on the basic functionality that one would find in a typical repository created with .NET. We’ll look at both general functionality and how that functionality would be implemented using three different styles of ORM: Entity Framework, Dapper, and Tortuga Chain.

On Abstractions and For-Each Performance in C#
Donald Knuth famously said, “We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time”. But when faced with the other 3%, it is good to know what’s going on behind the scenes. So in this article we’ll be taking a dive into the foreach loop.

Q&A: Relevant Search with Elasticsearch and Solr
In their book "Relevant Search", Doug Turnbull and John Berryman focus on the challenge of providing search results by balancing the needs and intents of the user. Using Elasticsearch and Solr, relevance engineers can constantly tune the needs of the business vs. the needs of the user.

Designing with Exceptions in .NET
Exceptions are an integral part of working with .NET, but far too many developers don’t think about them from an API design perspective. Most of their work begins and ends with knowing which exceptions they need to catch and which should be allowed to hit the global logger. You can significantly reduce the time it takes to correct bugs if you design the API to use exceptions correctly.

Creating RESTful Services with T4 Based on Model and Interfaces
When generating RESTful services with WebAPI, a lot of boilerplate code has to be implemented. Amel Musić demonstrates how T4 and EnvDTE can be used to create a flexible code generator that dramatically reduces the amount of time and effort this takes.

Starcounter vs. ORM and DDD
The so-called “object-relation impedance mismatch” has long been discussed in engineering circles. Most attempts at a solution rely try to mask the issue by pulling logic into the application tier. Kostiantyn Cherniavskyi looks at these issues and shows how many of them can be solved with hybrid databases such as Starcounter.

F# in Numbers: A Look at the Annual F# Survey Results
In April, for the second time, fsharpWorks organized the F# community survey. Over 600 developers completed the survey in 2016 (which is 15% more than in 2015). The survey provides an insight into the brains of the F# community. In this article, I'll summarize some of the results.
