Revisited Concept: High Performance web server w/ Promises
I decided to follow this up for two main reasons. First and foremost, there was an error in the original code I posted and I couldn't remember if that error existed in the code I actually tested with or if it was introduced during my writing of the article.

Command Line Breakdown - Ports in Use on Ubuntu Server
There are plenty of material out in the web-o-sphere to determine what is using which network port. I thought I'd take a command I recently used and break it down in order to help newer Linux Admins/Users understand the command and structure. I used: sudo lsof -i -P -n
Brainstorming
Considerations for Data Synchronization
A quick live-blogging session brainstorming aspects to consider when considering a data synchronization implementation.

"Model bound complex types" Error in ASP.NET Core 2
I'm presently working on an ASP.NET Core 2 Project. To be honest, it's my first real project with the tech stack. Most have gone smoothly and I've found some great utility in the included libraries.
