My room’s AC unit (Panasonic) is quite old. It does a great job cooling/heating the place after all these years, but also lacks any “smart” capabilities found on modern units.

I have recently discovered Nanoframework which is a community-led project to bring C# and Dotnet to the world of micro-controllers. Since then, I have been tinkering with IoT and embedded devices using C# to connect with sensors and play around with them.

I have been developing UWP applications for a few years now and I truly enjoy it. It’s been the platform where I experiment with and used it to learn a lot about programming.

At the company I currently work for, our CI pipelines run on a dedicated server that we own and manage on premise. This build server is using Atlassian Bamboo and is configured to run the builds using agents running directly inside the host OS which means builds share and depend on components installed on the host OS.

In the previous post I showed how to setup a Dotnet Core WebApi project to run inside docker.

I have been hearing a lot of people talking about docker and all of the benefits it introduces and they got me interested in the technology. However, I only recently managed to get some time to play around with Docker.
