The main repository for all the Code Maze guides
Code Maze is a blog about C# and .NET, written with simplicity and pragmatism in mind. The articles are hands-on. They focus on the core of each topic and show working code, not theory alone.
This repository holds that code. If you came here from an article, the article links to its exact folder. If you are just browsing, pick a topic below.
You need the .NET SDK. Each project states its target framework in its .csproj file, so install the version that project asks for.
git clone https://github.com/CodeMazeBlog/CodeMazeGuides.git
cd CodeMazeGuides//
dotnet build
dotnet run
dotnet test[!TIP] The full repository is large. To get only one article, use a sparse checkout:
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/CodeMazeBlog/CodeMazeGuides.git cd CodeMazeGuides git sparse-checkout set /
The numbers show how many article projects each folder holds.
