Starting today, we begin a short series exploring an increasingly important topic: securing credentials in web-hosted applications. While the subject itself isn't entirely new, this series aims to serve as a comprehensive summary of best practices—a one-stop resource for effectively using managed identities and Azure …

In this post, we will continue developing our compiler by implementing its second component: the syntactic analyzer. Along the way, we’ll explore the tools commonly used for this purpose (such as grammars).

Starting today, we are launching an in-depth series on compilation, exploring how a program written in a high-level language is parsed and translated for machine comprehension. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of compiler engineering, and throughout this series, we will illustrate key concepts by …

In this post, we will implement a Bloom filter in C# and demonstrate its functionality through a concrete application: we will show how it can be used to quickly check if a URL is malicious.
