Happy new 2020 year! The blog is now updated to ASP.NET Core 3.1!
Happy new 2020 year!
As the new year is here, I decided to update my blog.
The previous version was written in ASP.NET MVC 5 (and the last code was done in 2015). The new one is written in the latest ASP.NET Core 3.1 and it is a LTS (Long Term Support) version. The project is still open source and the latest code can be found here: https://github.com/NikolayIT/nikolay.it
I used the opportunity to also update few small things like to add google analytics, to update the sidebar and the client-side libraries and to enable HTTPS by default.
For the new year I will try to write at least 2 blog post per month. If you like the content here, please add my RSS to your readers: https://nikolay.it/RSS/Blog
I wish you a very Happy New Year!
