By default, method arguments are passed by value. That is, arguments are copied and passed into the method. Therefore, modification to the argument inside the method body does not affect the original value. In most of the cases, modifications are unnecessary. Other programming languages, such as C++, has a const parameter or similar concept: This indicates that the parameter inside the method body is a constant that cannot be reassigned. It helps to avoid mistakes where you unintentionally reassign a method parameter in the body, and improves the performance by disallowing the unnecessary assignments. C# 7.2 introduces the in parameter (aka. readonly ref parameter.) A method parameter with in modifier means that this parameter is by ref and read only within the method body.

These questions are directly tied to ASP.NET Core. They are not meant to serve as only questions that you would ask a candidate during an interview. Use these to assess if the candidate has any knowledge about ASP.NET Core. The questions should serve as guidelines for core ASP.NET Core concepts that candidate should be familiar with.

In this post, I look at the various Docker base images available for .NET Core development, how they differ, and when you should use each of them.
