Advent of Code 2022

01 Dec 2022 #writing #csharp

This year, inspired by C# Advent and 24 Pull Requests, I decided to do my own Christmas challenge: my own Advent of Code. I prefer to call it: Advent of Posts. Starting on December 1st, I’m publishing 24 posts, one post per day.

The challenge is to write an article per day in about 2 hours, including proof-reading and banner design. I’ve written some of the post in advance to avoid content pressure.

Here is my Advent of Posts:

• Day 1: How to write tests for HttpClient using Moq
• Day 2: TIL: Always check for missing configuration values inside constructors
• Day 3: TIL: How to test an ASP.NET Core Authorization filter
• Day 4: On Unit Testing Logging and Log Messages
• Day 5: I stopped using leading or tricky questions in Code Reviews
• Day 6: How to replace BackgroundServices with a lite Hangfire
