This summer I quit my old job and accepted a new challenge, which gave me the chance to take a break, make use of paternity leave and spend quality time with my family.
Also, after quite a while, this allowed me to find the time to write an article for the windows.developer magazine.

This article is the first of a 2 part series on implementing your own blog application from scratch running on .NET Core. It's laid out in a step by step manner taking you from File - New Project to an up and running blog application.

I am aware that building such a thing from scratch might not be everybody's idea of a good time and it really depends on your needs and whether you want full control or your application or not. However, it is basically what I did for this very blog and I considered it a good idea to wrap up my findings and learnings in this series of articles.

You can get a sneak peek at the article here, but don't be cheap and head to your next book shop, or order it online, of course.

The articles in this magazine are written in German, so apologies to my non-German-speaking friends and followers.

If you are interested in the actual source code for this project, take a look at my GitHub repo.

Also, make sure to check out my other writing in case your are interested.
