.NET Web Application Logging Essentials

A practical guide to logging in ASP.NET, MVC, Web API and Core

About the Book

Welcome to this ebook about logging. During the last 15 years, I have been building desktop and web applications in a range of different programming languages and application frameworks. Since Microsoft released ASP.NET MVC back in 2007, I have been working with Microsoft technologies exclusively. This book is a summary of what I have learned about logging during my career as a professional software developer.

Logging may be one of the most overloaded terms in modern software development. When thinking about logs and logging, you may be thinking about long text files spread across servers. After reading this book, I’ll show you a better solution. With the introduction of cloud solutions like elmah.io and semantics logging frameworks like Serilog, things have changed a lot during the last 5 years.

Code Club

https://www.codeclub.org.uk

A nationwide network of volunteer-led after school coding clubs for children aged 9-11.

We create projects for our volunteers to teach at after school coding clubs or at non-school venues such as libraries. The projects we make teach children how to program by showing them how to make computer games, animations and websites. Our volunteers go to their local club for an hour a week and teach one project a week. Each term the students will progress and learn more whilst at the same time using their imaginations and making creative projects. Terms 1 & 2 use Scratch to teach the basics of programming. Term 3 teaches the basics of web development using HTML and CSS. Term 4 teaches Python and so on. We’d like to put a Code Club in every single primary school in the country. There are over 21,000 primary schools in the UK, it’s a big task but we think we can do it!
