  Understanding Microservices: What They Are and How They Differ from Traditional Services and APIs In recent years, microservices have become one of the most popular architectural styles for building modern applications. But what exactly are they, and how do they differ from traditional services or APIs? In this blog, we’ll break down what microservices are, their key features, and how they differ from the more traditional service-oriented architectures (SOA) or simple APIs. What Are Microservices? In the simplest terms, a microservice is a way of designing software as a collection of small, independent services that each handle a specific task or business function. Imagine you're building an online shopping application. Rather than having a massive, monolithic (one big block of) application that handles everything—user management, product catalog, payment processing, etc.—you can break it down into smaller services. For example: User Service : Manages user accounts, login...

  Working with OAuth Tokens in .NET Framework 4.8 OAuth (Open Authorization) is a widely used protocol for token-based authentication and authorization. If you're working with .NET Framework 4.8 and need to integrate OAuth authentication, this guide will walk you through the process of obtaining and using an OAuth token to make secure API requests. Step 1: Understanding OAuth Flow OAuth 2.0 typically follows these steps: The client requests authorization from the OAuth provider. The user grants permission. The client receives an authorization code. The client exchanges the code for an access token. The client uses the token to access protected resources. Depending on your use case, you may be implementing: Authorization Code Flow (for web applications) Client Credentials Flow (for machine-to-machine communication) Step 2: Install Required Packages For handling HTTP requests, install Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client via NuGet: powershell Copy Edit Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.W...

  The Evolution of .NET: From Framework to Core and Beyond The .NET ecosystem has come a long way since its inception, and perhaps one of the most significant transitions in its history is the shift from .NET Framework to .NET Core , which has since evolved into simply .NET starting with version 5. This transformation represents a major step in making .NET more modern, agile, and ready for the future, with a focus on cross-platform development, performance, and cloud readiness. In this blog, we’ll explore the key changes and advantages of the move from .NET Framework to .NET Core, and why it matters to developers. A New Era of Cross-Platform Development One of the most important changes in the transition from .NET Framework to .NET Core (and now .NET 5 and beyond) is the introduction of cross-platform support . .NET Framework: Windows-Only Historically, .NET Framework was tied closely to Windows, making it difficult for developers who wanted to build cross-platform applicat...
