ASP.NET Core AI Apps, Semantic Kernel, WPF

Covers AI-assisted query tuning, Semantic Kernel assistants, Blazor and MongoDB APIs, WPF animation, SOLID design, and SQL Server UUID v7 limits.

Jasen's top three picks

  1. 1
    How to Implement AI-Assisted Database Query Optimization in ASP.NET Core

    c-sharpcorner.com

    Interesting angle on performance tuning: less about magic AI, more about surfacing database bottlenecks and guiding better fixes in ASP.NET Core apps.

  2. 2
    SOLID Principles in C# – Part 2: The Open/Closed Principle (OCP)

    c-sharpcorner.com

    A straightforward OCP refresher. Good for newer developers who need examples of extension without rewriting stable code.

    C# 15 Union Types: A Cleaner Way to Model “One of These” Values

    medium.com

    Union types would be a notable language shift if they land as described. Worth reading with healthy skepticism until the feature is finalized.

There’s also a useful pair of SOLID articles here if you want some design fundamentals in between the AI and API work.
