Making the chicken dance one line of code at a time
Its been written before but maybe this makes more sense to someone
At work we are currently going through a migration to modernize from a .net 4 winforms app to a modern web app with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and .net core on the backend. Part of this is also making our permissions more manageable and centrally applied so the same logic is not in 6 different places.
An exercise in mild technical masochism
When setting up this blog I wanted to try something. Could I set up a static site using just an iPad instead of my desktop. This wasn’t an experiment to see if I could replace my desktop, this was because my kids didn’t want to stop playing their computer games long enough for me to get this up and running. I had an iPad laying around and a Bluetooth keyboard and time. I spent so much time wondering if I could, I never though if I should.

Or why I have no hair.
Recently I was working on the API gateway and ran into an issue while trying to use Auto Mapper. It was working well until I was trying to map some XML from one name space to another.
