.NET Web API Deployment in Azure (GitLab CI/CD Pipeline, Webhooks and Runners)

-
Image
Hello, everyone) My name is Khasan Rashidov. I am a .NET Engineer. I will show you how to set up a CI/CD pipeline in GitLab for proper deployment of the ASP.NET Core Web API in Azure. Basically, I am writing this blog post because I could not find a normal article or YouTube video on the internet, let alone the GitLab documentation seems very poor (IMO, indeed, it is) for a starting software engineer (developer or DevOps, for everyone :). By this time, I was having an internship in a company as a .NET Engineer, and I was given many tasks, one of which was to set up a CI/CD pipeline in GitLab (where our project is stored) for our project. It was basically a .NET Web API project. It was the first time for me to set up a GitLab CI/CD pipeline (in the past, I had experience with GitHub Actions, where I set up CI for build and test steps (with nice test reports with parsers) for my own projects, and it was way easier than GitLab ones). But of course, we need to understand that the most sign...

How to Get Better at Playing Chess?

-
Image
Usually, to play chess better, one should first of all know the chess rules, have good logic, and be able to think strategically. Most of the time, of course, it is not enough. You also need to know the chess openings, chess endgames, and chess tactics. And, of course, you need to practice a lot. First of all, let me talk about my chess knowledge. I have pretty good chess knowledge, no matter that I learned it by playing chess on my own. I gradually increased my level of play on online platforms like chess.com and lichess.org. Currently, I have an approximate Rapid rating of 1400+ and performance is above 1500, which, while low, is a pretty good result for amateur chess players, especially for someone who is a computer science student and plays chess in his or her spare time, especially given how infrequently I play chess. But still, I mostly play puzzles at lichess.org, and I have a puzzle rating of 2200+. When I entered university, I knew my chess skills had deteriorated because I ...

Why is Python One of the Best Programming Languages for Software Engineers?

-
Image
As a student who majors in computer science and software engineering, I recommend Python as one of the best programming languages for software engineers. To develop their skills, easily attract the attention of hiring managers, and enter various top companies in today's technology, software engineers must learn many new programming languages. Since most developers and coders have started working with the Python programming language, I think developers should learn this language. Many companies need very skilled software engineers who have great experience with the Python programming language. There are lots of reasons why Python is popular and considered one of the best programming languages in the IT industry.  • Python is easy to learn. Without a doubt, Python is quite easy to learn in comparison with other programming languages like C, C++, C#, Java, etc. And actually, in my opinion, everyone who knows English and some mathematics pretty well can easily learn this language w...

How to Become a Straight-A+ Student & Get GPA of 4.5

Hello, everyone. My name is Khasan Rashidov. I am 20 years old. I am from Uzbekistan. I am currently a third-year student at Inha University in Tashkent, and I am majoring in Computer Science and Software Engineering. I also have a good command of knowledge in mathematics, logic, and computer algorithms. I can speak several languages: Uzbek, Russian, English, and Korean. I have a pretty good GPA ( average of 5 semesters is 4.1/4.5 ) as well. In this blog, I will tell you about getting a high GPA with all grades of A+. Usually, in universities, getting an A+ in every subject is a goal that is very hard to achieve unless the student is very clever, self-confident, and studies a lot. But in my opinion, it is not exactly like this because I think to get higher grades, a student doesn't have to be the smartest; he or she should have a strong sense of self-discipline and good time management skills. And the main thing that every student should keep in mind is that there is no need to s...
