Every week, I publish my reading notes. Those are the articles, blog posts, podcast episodes, and books that catch my interest and that I found interesting. It's a mix of the actuality and what I was looking for. 

## Cloud

- **[Azure Functions with QueueTriggers and .NET Core – Configuration and Troubleshooting](https://dev.to/csharpfritz/azure-functions-with-queuetriggers-and-net-core-configuration-and-troubleshooting-5h9o)** (Jeff) - Poor Jeff, I was there on his stream and he struggles so much to understand what was happening. And honestly me too! Despite the fact that I know and use Azure Function regularly I completely missed the missing instruction... The good news is since the documentation is open-source we can improve it...

## Programming

- **[A quick overview of ASP.NET Core with Rider](https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2019/11/25/quick-overview-asp-net-core-rider/)** (Rachel Appel) - I never used Rider in a real project. However, the quality of this code IDE is not in question. It looks awesome and this post shows how it supports the latest version of .Net Core.
- **[An Introduction to Blazor and Web Assembly](https://www.grapecity.com/blogs/intro-to-blazor-and-web-assembly)** (Jeremy Likness) - The perfect post to get started with Blazor and also learn where it comes from.
- **[Visual Studio Extensions: 8 You Should Check Out](https://blog.submain.com/visual-studio-extensions-7-you-should-check-out)** (Carlos Schults) - A nice post that shares useful extensions for developers. I also like the fact that in the title it's 8 and in the url it's 7 LOL...

## Miscellaneous

- **[How Serverless is Working in Azure SQL Database – SQLServerCentral](https://www.sqlservercentral.com/blogs/how-serverless-is-working-in-azure-sql-database)** (Steve Jones) - Interesting post where the author shares his experience with serverless database version.

I'm still balanced about this book. It was a good book, even if I found some chapters that were too long. I also got lost by moments. I had the impression that some thoughts or ideas were not developed correctly and more quickly wrapped. In counterpart, some were very well served and clear.
