Angular + NGRX Architecture: When To Use Component State Vs NGRX State
How do you decide when a piece of information should go in your NGRX store, as opposed to being maintained as local component variables?
Mocking NGRX Store Emissions Over Time With Jasmine Marbles
It’s easy to mock up emissions from your NGRX store over time in your unit tests, but the manner in which you do so is not immediately obvious from reading the NGRX testing documentation. In this post I’ll explain my thought process in how I solved this problem in the hopes that it helps others.
Customizing IdentityServer4 SQL Server Table Names & Schema

Customizing the ASP.NET Core Identity Table Names and Primary Key Type
ASP.NET Core Identity is a very useful tool which provides a simple interface for user management. The default out-of-the-box implementation involves using Microsoft’s default table names and using a string (which defaults to a guid) for primary keys.

They also offer a commercial theme designer product. However, for those of us who wish to take the free, open-source route, the options are limited, which is ironic considering that the library itself is under the MIT license…
Publishing A Nuget Package to a Private VSTS Feed From Linux Using Dotnet CLI
The private NuGet package feed included with Visual Studio Team Services provides a straightforward way to distribute proprietary NuGet libraries for use by multiple .NET applications within your organization without publishing your sensitive proprietary library publicly over the internet for all to use. Microsoft provides good documentation for how to do this in Windows, but I had to do some digging and troubleshooting in order to get it working in Linux. Once you figure it out it’s fairly simple, but…
