  • Console2SAAS- post mortem

    It was interesting to wrote the mini e-book Console2SAAS with Daniel Tila. We have meet,at non-COVID time,at coffee shops and  hubs and discussing about what each chapter should contain,why,and how to make more easy to read. In COVID times we met over Skype – it was slightly more difficult than meet in person. We have…

  • Console2SAAS – what I learned from seventh chapter

    The 7th chapter of the Console2SAAS mini-e-book was the most interesting. The Web is a totally different beast from the Desktop application. The amount of work transforming a single user app to a web app ( not necessary a SAAS app) is not trivial. That is also a non trivial amount of work of thinking…

  • Console2SAAS – what I learned from sixth chapter

    The 6th chapter of the mini e-book Console2SAAS it was about  demonstrating to  the reader the problems that has when having multiple clients using the Desktop application- and how to solve it. That shows to me that an architect is needed to proper engineer and maybe refactor the solution – if it grows beyond expectations.…

  • Console2SAAS – what I learned from fifth chapter

    In the chapter 5 of Console2SAAS I wanted to show the user the challenges of having a client . Any new client will come with some different use case scenario,even for the smallest assumption in the original project. And here the power of DI can be shown. I have had zero  problems trying to get…

  • Console2SAAS – what I learned from fourth chapter

    The fourth chapter of the mini e-book Console2SAAS show me that,if you have properly construct the console application,the GUI ( Windows Forms,for example) should not be so difficult to made. The problem now is the feedback to the user – you must somehow re-design the logic in order to ensure some graphical indicators to the…

  • Console2SAAS – what I learned from third chapter

    The third chapter of the mini-e-book Console2SAAS shows me that I should not re-invent the wheel. Of course,it is easy to make a code that reads settings – but why do it so if there are libraries already in the framework  ? Also,even a such simple task ( reading the setting),in order to do properly,there…

  • Console2SAAS – what I learned from second chapter

    The second chapter of Console2SAAS is very short. I realized that,as soon that you have the software,you want to have an ecosystem around it – version control,automatic CI . Also,if the software is released even to beta testers,you should have some refactoring done in order to have the solution structured properly for modifications. You can…

  • Book-Console2SAAS – what I learned from first chapter

    The first chapter of the Console2SAAS book showed me that even the first iteration of an application could have interesting challenges. It was about how to structure the code – it is easy to set up properly from the start . Creating even simple code ( in this case,that creates an Excel file) is somehow…

  • Book–Console2SAAS–technical details and CD

    One of the important thing about creating a book is how to have fast feedback you see it after you write some texts. I decided to go like this: Each chapter will be in his own folder  ( https://github.com/ignatandrei/console_to_saas/tree/master/Chapter01,https://github.com/ignatandrei/console_to_saas/tree/master/Chapter02,and so on) . The content will be in the readme.md in each chapter folder ( to…

    I have a passion to read – also a passion to teach . And to reach others,what is best than a book ? The idea of the book is how to pass from a Console application to a SAAS application –  with clear examples in .NET . I have written the book with the help…
