We have a short post this week, as many people are on vacation, including me. Unsurprisingly, no .NET user group has events for this week, so we’ll skip the section this time.<\/p>\n
As always, this weekly post couldn’t exist without community contributions, and I’d like to thank all those who sent links and tips. You can participate too. Did you write a great blog post, or just read one? Do you want everyone to know about an amazing new contribution or a useful library? We’d love to hear from you, and feature your contributions on future posts:<\/p>\n
This week’s post (and future posts) also contains news I first read on ASP.NET’s community spotlight<\/a>, on F# weekly<\/a>, on ASP.NET Weekly<\/a>, and on Chris Alcock’s The Morning Brew<\/a>.<\/p>\n To read last week’s post, see The week in .NET – 12\/22\/2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n Server-side image processing is important. You might need to dynamically generate image thumbnails to make a web site more reactive, or add watermarks on the fly, or create black-and-white versions of the photos in a gallery.
