ASP.NET Dynamic Compilation

In ASP.NET Web Applications, When we request a page it must parse and compile the code of Web Application into one or more assemblies. When the code is compiled, it's translated into a language independent and CPU independent code, that's MSIL code.

When we create an ASP.NET page, actually creating the source code for a .NET class. We are creating a new instance of the System.Web.UI.Page class.The entire contents of an ASP.NET page, including all script and HTML content, are compiled into a .NET class.

When request an ASP.NET page, ASP.NET Framework checks for a .NET class that corresponds to that page. If a corresponding class does not exist, the Framework automatically compiles the page into a new class and stores the compiled class (the assembly) in the Temporary ASP.NET Files folder.

The Temporary ASP.NET files folder located at :

\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files

The next time anyone requests the same page in the future, the page is not compiled again. The previously compiled class is executed, and the results are returned to the browser. Even if we unplug our web server, and start up web server again after some years, the next time someone requests the same page, the page does not need to be recompiled. The compiled class is preserved in the Temporary ASP.NET Files folder until the source code of application is modified. When the class is added to the Temporary ASP.NET Files folder, a file dependency is created between the class and the original ASP.NET page. If the ASP.NET page is modified in any way, the  corresponding .NET class is automatically deleted. The next time someone requests the page, the Framework automatically compiles the modified page source into a
new .NET class. This process is called Dynamic Compilation.

The Dynamic Compilation enables ASP.NET applications to support thousands of simultaneous users. Unlike an ASP Classic page, for example, an ASP.NET page does not need to be parsed and compiled every time it is requested. An ASP.NET page is compiled only when an application is modified.

Javascript - Unanswered questions - Part 1

What is Event delegation? Event delegation is Javascript as it relates to the DOM. It basically means that if you attach an event listener to a DOM element that listener is not only firing on that DOM element. It's actually firing on every children in that. So, for instance if you have a navigation and so you've got an unordered list you've got list items and then you've got anchor tags inside that navigation what you have. If you add an event listener to the ul element in essence you're actually adding event listener to all of the children as well. In short, JS event listeners fir not only on a single DOM element but on all its descendants. What is Event Bubbling? It's actually inverse of Event delegation. Also known as propagation, events on an DOM element will bubble up and also fire on all parents.  What's the difference between "target" and "currentTarget"? target is the actual element that triggered the event for example clicked, wh

Microservices vs. APIs

It still surprises me just how many times I come across misconceptions around Micro Services and APIs. Often hearing phrases like micro services are fine grained web services or API is themselves are equivalent to micro services. These all sort of show fundamental misconceptions under the covers. So, I've written this just to really break that out and explain about what the key differences are in those two concepts. What is an API? An API, fundamentally Application Programming Interface, that is an interface. It's a way of making requests into a component. So it's the route that you go in to make those requests. In modern use that typically means a REST API, that's a call made using HTTP protocol using JSON data as the payload. What are Micro Services? So let's ensure we also have a clear crisp definition on what a micro service architecture really is. Micro-Services architecture is about breaking down large silo applications into smaller components. That are more m
