ASP.NET Core, EF Core, AI and tooling
Practical posts on API docs, EF Core configuration, AI inference, C# 14, MAUI agents, and deployment tips for working .NET teams.
Jasen's top three picks
- 1 Integrating Scalar API Documentation in ASP.NET Core
Medium
Scalar is a useful reminder that good API docs are part of the product, not an afterthought.
- 2 Clean and Scalable Entity Configuration in Entity Framework Core (With Real Project Example)
Medium
This EF Core configuration article focuses on keeping entity mapping clean as projects grow.
- 3 From Monolith to Micro-Brain: Architecting Scalable AI Inference in .NET
levelup.gitconnected.com
The micro-brain AI inference piece is interesting if you're thinking about scaling .NET AI workloads beyond a single app.
Editor's note
I pulled a deliberately mixed lineup this time, from API documentation and EF Core setup to AI inference and MAUI agents. The C# 14 extension members piece stands out for showing how language features can finally retire helper-class clutter, and the OAuth/JWT article is a solid security refresher.
