- Quick Tip: Minification of assets with Hugo
Today, I have been doing a general tidy up of my blog repository. One of the things that I decided to do, was reduce the overall amount of whitespace in the generated html files.

In my previous post, I described how we can leverage the new EventCounter diagnostics API to add custom event counters and listen for built in counters. In this article, I will walk through how we can leverage the dotnet-counters tool with a running docker image.
Recently, I've been playing with the new diagnostic improvements in .Net Core 3. Traditionally, I've always used the great AppMetrics package to capture the metrics from our applications and send scrape them with a Prometheus & Grafana setup. Whilst reading about the improvements, I wondered whether or not it would be possible to push metrics to Prometheus.
In today's quick tip, we are going to see how we can access a secret that we've defined in a variable group as part of a Azure DevOps yml based build.
In this article, we will learn how to use a custom dockerfile as the bases for a customised Azure DevOps build agent. There are many reasons why you might want to do this, including running custom tooling that takes a while to setup or tooling that isn't supported yet.
In this article, we will increase our websites level of protecting against Cross-Site Request Forgery and Cross-Site Script Inclusion attacks by appending an additional modifier to the Set-Cookie HTTP header.
In this article, we will take a look at secure cookies, that is by appending an additional modifier to the Set-Cookie HTTP header.
In this article, I will give a brief overview of cookies, why we want them to be httpOnly and how we can ensure this via URL Rewrite. We will also be creating our first outbound rewrite rule with a pre-condition.
In the previous post, I explained why canonical urls are important and how to enforce them . In this article, I will show you how to have a canonical host url.
In this series, I am going to take you through a few web.config snippets that have come in handy for me when using URL Rewrite on IIS. Firstly, I am going to introduce the URL Rewrite module then show a sample of going from HTTP to HTTPS.
Over recent months, some close friends and I have found ourselves in a bit of a rut and woken up to the fact that we aren't getting any younger and don't really have a plan. Naturally, this can be upsetting to a person and it's something that can be easily rectified.
On the 23rd of March, I had the opportunity to present at the Episerver meetup in Redweb's London offices. I ended up giving two talks: Episerver Content Providers & a 5 minute lightening talk.
In this the first of many news roundups, I am going to look back through the news that you may have missed and the stories/blogs that have interested me over the previous month(s). In this round up I will be taking a look at content from arround mid January, through to the 1st March 2017.
OpenMessage originally started out as a replacement for an internal library that was used across teams. At the time, the team I was apart of needed the latest version of dotnet core for the library where as the other team were stuck on RC1. They were also developing features for that version of the framework and a few pre-existing details that we were unhappy with (eg: the request/response implementation). With that in mind, I created a minimal wrapper for what we needed. Looking forward, I plan to dedicate a bit more time to the project and improve it.
Just a quick update to say that the Azure provider for OpenMessage has been released. This update fixes an issue with scheduling messages on topics.
