Incremental Roslyn Source Generators: Using Additional Files – Part 7
In the previous article the Source Generator itself needed a 3rd-party library Newtonsoft.Json in order to generate new source code. The JSON-strings were hard-coded inside the Source Generator for simplicity reasons. In this article we will see how to process not just .NET code, but also other files, like JSON or XML.

There are a lot of things going on in the background, when a Blazor WebAssembly application is being started. In some cases you might want to take a bit more control over that process. One example might be the wish to display a loading screen for applications that take some time for initial preparation, or when users are on a slow internet connection. However, in order to control something, we need to understand what is happening first. This article takes you down the rabbit hole of how a Blazor WASM application starts up.

Using EntityAdapter with ComponentStore: @ngrx/entity Series – Part 3
As someone who enjoys the ComponentStore on an average level, I have written simple reactive CRUD logic several times. While storing a vast number of entities in the component state might not be a frequent use case, I will briefly illustrate the usage of the EntityAdapter with the @ngrx/component-store.

Implementing Smart and Presentational Components with Angular: Condensed Angular Experiences – Part 4
In this article, we will explore how to apply the concept of smart and presentational components with Angular. We will choose a complex-enough target to see all aspects in action, yet understandable and within the scope of this article. The goal is to teach you how to use this architecture in your way. For that, we will iterate through different development stages, starting with the target selection and implementing it in a naive way. After the first development, we will refactor that naive solution into smart and presentational components that are reusable, refactor-friendly, and testable.
