Using MariaDB with ASP.NET Core 2.0 • Jerrie Pelser

Development is led by some of the original developers of MySQL, who forked it due to concerns over its acquisition by Oracle Corporation. Contributors are required to share their copyright with the MariaDB Foundation. MariaDB intends to maintain high compatibility with MySQL, ensuring a drop-in replacement capability with library binary equivalency and exact matching with MySQL APIs and commands.

Five RESTFul Web Design Patterns Implemented in ASP.NET Core 2.0 Part 2: HATEOAS

The main reason I include HATEOAS in my web design courses is because it’s such a cool acronym. There is another way to describe it.
