Because I like to share knowledge
Recently, I was using a YAML file for storing some data for a pet project. To work with this YAML in a .NET application, I use the excellent YamlDotNet library by Antoine Aubry.
One of my properties was a URL. Deserializing went fine, but when serializing back to a YAML file, things were not going as intended.
In this short article, I will explain how I did fix this.

In this article we will walk through the steps how we can make a connection to the container registry. In the end we will also make sure we do not have to pass along the password during the deployment.

However, this does not result in the most maintainable and readable piece of JSON. Even worse if you have multiple connection strings in the same template.
In this article I will show that adding a User-Defined Function to our template can improve on this.

I’m sharing my Dutch slides here, and soon I hope to add the recording for WordPress TV in this post as well.
This weekend I was speaking at WordCamp Nijmegen about the possibilities of hosting a WordPress site using Microsoft Azure.
Even though I expected to get some criticism for dropping the Microsoft name at such an event, I felt very welcome. I experienced the event as a large group of very warm people from all over the world that are coming together to help each other out. And like Microsoft nowadays, they set a high standard with their code of conduct (in English).
