I while ago, I posted about setting up Entity Framework 6 Code First migrations in an MVC 5 Project. These days, its all about dotnet core, and whilst the process is very similar, I thought I would write another detailed walk through so that I can hit the ground running when I'm required to do this working on real projects.

Autorest is a great tool for automating the creation of clients from Swagger or Open Api definition files. The resulting code can be dropped into a project and shareable client code can be distributed.

The Linq operator SelectMany has always confused me a bit, and yesterday I came across it in some code so had to actually try to understand it.

Turning on internal logging for log4net is straight forward and provides a detailed information about the many issues that may occur.

In my previous post I talked about setting up vim plugins. I've been using vim on the commandline quite a bit now and have found a couple of useful commands that I like to have setup to make use a bit easier.

I've been using VsVim the vim Visual Studio plugin and I really like how much easier it makes coding when your fingers can live on the home keys more. Recently I started working through Roy Osheroves Vim Hates You course and learning loads more tricks and ways to use vim, so I thought I would put a bit of effort into learning vim int the console so that it might in the future it might become my main weapon of choice.
