It seems like this time of year anyone with a blog is doing some sort of ‘advent calendar’, i.e. 24 posts leading up to Christmas. For instance there’s a F# one which inspired a C# one (C# copying from F#, that never happens 😉) | Continue reading
A little over 4 years ago Microsoft announced that they were open sourcing large parts of the .NET framework and as this slide from New Features in .NET Core and ASP.NET Core 2.1 shows, the community has been contributing in a significant way: | Continue reading

I’m constantly surprised at just how popular resources related to ‘.NET Internals’ are, for instance take this tweet and the thread that followed: | Continue reading
I’ve been digging into .NET Internals for a while now, but never really looked closely at how the ‘Just-in-Time’ (JIT) compiler works. In my mind, the interaction between the .NET Runtime and the JIT has always looked like this: | Continue reading
Whether you want to look at what your code is doing ‘under-the-hood’ or you’re trying to see what the ‘internals’ of the CLR look like, there is a whole range of tools that can help you out. | Continue reading
