Many program languages support a concept called Enumerated Types or better known as Enums. An Enum is a set of named constants that can be used as a type. C# does also support Enums, and the construct is easy to use. But Enums have a few pitfalls that are not obvious and can lead to unexpected behavior. Not obvious is also, that C# supports two different kinds of Enums with slight differences.

C# is a high-level language and therefore one rarely needs to work with single bits. Nevertheless, C# offers all the possibilities to do so. Bit manipulations can be used for many purposes, like with Enums, low level hardware communication or mathematics.

In C# there is a handy feature which is often used, but whose definition is rather invisible: Collection Initializers. With Collection Initializers, collections can be filled with content directly during initialization.

This is my new blog. I used asp.net core, C# and SASS and deployed it with Docker on Azure. Docker is something I’m trying to learn right now, and I use this blog to test the deployment to Azure. It is tradition in software development to greet the world when taking first steps with new technologies. I also need a first article. Therefore, here we go: Hello, World!
