Message Naming Guidelines

As with many things in software development, naming can be difficult. The name of a message can be incredibly important which is why naming of your messages should be taken with consideration. This post is to be used for message naming guidelines with dos and don’ts based on my prior experiences of the good, the bad, and the ugly. This blog post is in a series related to messaging.  You can find the overview in my Message Properties post.

Roundup #62: ConfigureAwait, System.Threading.Channels, New Executive Director of .NET Foundation, Event Driven Collaboration, What You Need to Know About Open Source

Here are the things that caught my eye recently in .NET.  I’d love to hear what you found most interesting this week.  Let me know in the comments or on Twitter. ConfigureAwait FAQ .NET added async/await to the languages and libraries over seven years ago. In that time, it’s caught on like wildfire, not only across the .NET ecosystem, but also being replicated in a myriad of other languages and frameworks. It’s also seen a ton of improvements in .NET, in terms of additional language constructs that utilize asynchrony, APIs offering async support, and fundamental improvements in the infrastructure that makes async/await tick (in… Read More »Roundup #62: ConfigureAwait, System.Threading.Channels, New Executive Director of .NET Foundation, Event Driven Collaboration, What You Need to Know About Open Source
