Happy New Year 2019!

By Shahed C on December 27, 2018

If you’ve been following my ASP .NET Core blog series from October to December 2018, you may have noticed a little surprise. The first letter of each article spells out the words HAPPY NEW YEAR!

happy-new-year-2019

Congratulations! You’ve made it this far! 😀

Not just a gimmick, this blog series kicks off with a “Hello World” intro to ASP .NET Core, reveals a new open-source learning app (NetLearner) halfway through, breaks all my previous blog viewership records with December’s .NET Core 3.0 recap after Connect(); 2018 and finally wraps with up a SignalR writeup (and a new sample app that’s not chat!)

Blog viewership numbers in 2018:

  • Jan – Sep: ~2k/month with little or no updates
  • Oct: ~6k
  • Nov: ~8k
  • Dec: 36k+ (as of Dec 27, when this blog post was published)
    • 40k+ as of Dec 31 midnight

During this blog series, I also participated in Matthew Groves’ 2nd annual C# Advent 2018, which ran daily from Dec 1 – Dec 25. Check out his website to see dozens of new blog posts from many talented C# developers and bloggers:

Hope you enjoyed the 2018 series and will stay tuned for what’s to come in 2019:

  • A-Z with ASP .NET Core 2019 Series
    • Jan – June 2019: 26 weeks of ASP .NET Core posts
    • Will be combined to form a living breathing ebook
    • Will be updated to align with .NET Core 3.0 release
