ASP.NET Core, .NET 9, and security picks
A varied roundup covering .NET 9 language and web updates, ASP.NET Core security, logging, rate limiting, Azure, MAUI, and more.
Jasen's top three picks
- 1 Understanding Escape Characters in .NET
csharp.com
Escape characters are a small topic with outsized payoff when strings, regex, and JSON all meet.
- 2 How to Encrypt the SQLite DB File using AES
csharp.com
SQLite encryption with AES is a practical reminder that local data still needs real protection.
- 3 A Senior Developer’s Take on .NET 9: What Matters Most
medium.com
The .NET 9 take is a good reality check on what actually matters in a release.
Editor's note
I kept this issue deliberately mixed: language features, web platform work, tooling, and a few practical how-tos all made the cut. The ASP.NET Core security and rate limiting pieces are timely, and the .NET 9 logging and overload-resolution articles are worth a close read if you care about runtime behavior and API design.
