Hey Devs! 🙌
ASP.NET is a game-changer, right? But, oh boy, there are some sneaky pitfalls I've (embarrassingly) tumbled into during my journey. Here are a few, just so you can laugh (or cringe) and hopefully avoid them:
😅 "Sure, I trust my users!" Aka Skipping Input Validation
Mistake: Thinking "Who would want to break this?" and letting all inputs slide.
Impact: Hello, Mr. Hacker! 👋 Open doors for vulnerabilities.
Quick Fix: Never, ever trust user input blindly. Client and server-side validation is a must!🐢 The ViewState Overload
Mistake: ViewState is like that friend who overstays their welcome. Useful but can overburden if unchecked.
Impact: Slow-performing apps. And no one likes waiting, right?
Quick Fix: Don't put everything in the ViewState. Explore alternatives like Session or Cache.🙈 Ignoring Those Pesky Exceptions
Mistake: "I'll set up exception handling... tomorrow."
Impact: Bugs everywhere and a user experience straight out of a horror movie.
Quick Fix: Always have an exception handling strategy in place. Tomorrow means NOW!🍝 The Spaghetti of Code + Content
Mistake: Mixing up UI and logic because... shortcuts.
Impact: A maintenance nightmare. Debugging sessions that last for days.
Quick Fix: Keep things tidy. Embrace separation of concerns, and use those code-behind files.🐌 Sloooooow Database Queries
Mistake: Writing SQL queries on the fly without optimizing them.
Impact: Your app's speed (or lack thereof) can make or break it.
Quick Fix: Avoid SELECT * and get friendly with your ORM. Optimize, optimize, optimize!
