Making Angular Apps Smarter with Generative AI: Local and Offline-capable (Hands-on)
Generative AI is on everyone's lips: Adobe Photoshop allows objects in images to be exchanged by simply entering a prompt, and Microsoft Copilot has come to Office and Windows. With WebLLM and WebSD, we can now bring Generative AI to your Angular app: locally and offline-capable. We generate images from text input and add a chatbot to a to-do application. If you want to code along, please bring a powerful device with Windows or macOS, a current version of Chrome, Node.js, an editor of your choice, and at least 20 GB of free hard disk space. Ideally, this should be your private device, as group policies or company proxies tend to throw a spanner in the works.

Discriminated Unions in .NET: Modeling States and Variants
Domain models often involve concepts that exist in multiple distinct states or variations. Traditional approaches using enums and nullable properties can lead to invalid states and scattered logic. This article explores how discriminated unions provide a structured, type-safe way to model domain variants in .NET, aligning perfectly with Domain-Driven Design principles while enforcing invariants at the type level.

Value Objects in .NET: Enhancing Business Semantics
Value objects are fundamental building blocks in Domain-Driven Design, serving far more than simple data wrappers. This article explores their strategic importance in bridging technical code and business concepts, enforcing domain rules, and fostering clearer communication with domain experts. Learn how to build robust aggregates, cultivate ubiquitous language, and encapsulate domain-specific behavior using Thinktecture.Runtime.Extensions in .NET applications.

Pattern Matching with Discriminated Unions in .NET
Traditional C# pattern matching with switch statements and if/else chains is error-prone and doesn't guarantee exhaustive handling of all cases. When you add new types or states, it's easy to miss updating conditional logic, leading to runtime bugs. The library Thinktecture.Runtime.Extensions solves this with built-in Switch and Map methods for discriminated unions that enforce compile-time exhaustiveness checking.

Value Objects in .NET: Integration with Frameworks and Libraries
Value Objects in .NET provide a structured way to improve consistency and maintainability in domain modeling. This article examines their integration with popular frameworks and libraries, highlighting best practices for seamless implementation. From working with Entity Framework to leveraging their advantages in ASP.NET, we explore how Value Objects can be effectively incorporated into various architectures. By understanding their role in framework integration, developers can optimize data handling and enhance code clarity without unnecessary complexity.
