This project is a comprehensive sample library and implementation guide for ASP.NET Core. It provides a collection of practical examples and projects that demonstrate how to build web applications, RESTful APIs, and high-performance services. The repository focuses on a variety of architectural patterns, including the development of Minimal APIs, contract-first gRPC services, and real-time communication using WebSockets and Server-Sent Events. It includes detailed implementations for user identity and security, such as token-based authentication and CSRF protection. The codebase covers a bro
OpenSeadragon is a JavaScript library and tiled image rendering engine designed for high-resolution image viewing. It functions as a deep zoom image viewer that renders massive images using a tiled pyramid approach, enabling smooth panning and zooming without requiring the full image file to be loaded. The project distinguishes itself through broad support for standardized image retrieval protocols, including the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), IIPImage, Iris, and OpenStreetMap. It provides a hardware-accelerated rendering layer via WebGL to apply real-time filters and
Prism is a XAML application framework and MVVM architectural framework designed to build loosely coupled and testable applications across WPF, Xamarin Forms, and WinUI. It serves as a structural pattern implementation that separates business logic from the user interface to improve maintainability and testing. The framework provides a XAML event bus for exchanging data and triggering actions between independent components without direct coupling. It also functions as a dependency injection integrator, bridging external inversion-of-control containers to manage service delivery across multiple
This project is a collection of reference implementations and code samples for building cross-platform user interfaces using the Xamarin.Forms framework. It provides practical examples for developing mobile and desktop applications from a single codebase targeting multiple operating systems. The repository focuses on architectural patterns and integration strategies, specifically demonstrating the use of MVVM to synchronize data between models and views. It includes samples for native platform integration, such as invoking platform-specific APIs and creating custom renderers to override defau
