Outstanding work, very clear and interesting explanation. It can be hard to explain some dry subjects like this but you've nailed it. Thank you

I feel like you have attributed a vast amount of knowledge to my first year in my career journey and I'm a much better engineer because of it!

[heshamabdo]

Brilient content. Pretty frustated that there are very less content to learn these areas.

Hi, why we need an application pool for a site, what is does for my pretty simple website?

[techtransformers]

Is there any best books that details all backend engineering concepts.

[astor]

What are your thoughts about Kestrel webserver?

[adriandecaso]

Hello Hussein? quick question for you, Do you know any possible issues about limiting the CPU and new IIS connections are made?

[AyanMullick]

Could you do this for Azure Webapp and Azure Functions?

[saurjaghosh]

Can we run Node application on IIS servers ?

Not working nor do I intend to switch to M$ technologies, but a fun talk nonetheless, to see the other perspective

Fan request :)
Accept this request and send a response 😂
