New year – new resolutions. We might feel things are somewhat out of our control right now, but there are always some areas of life we can control. And that’s learning and self-improvement. So this week, we present you with a new batch of articles that can easily help you with that goal. Pick your favorite topic and read on.

A good article for anyone working a lot with EF Core. - Understanding WebSockets with ASP.NET Core [sahansera.dev]
A good introductory article by Sahan Serasinghe that goes in-depth through WebSockets and how they are implemented in ASP.NET Core. A worthy read for those that want to start working with WebSockets and SignalR.
