Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Hi 👋
I'm James.
I'm the author of ASP.NET Core 2 High Performance (second edition), a book about creating high performance web apps with C# and .NET Core (an open source and cross-platform framework from Microsoft - they are dropping the "Core" branding from .NET 5 onwards but it is the same open product). The book is also a large collection of tips applicable to making web apps perform well in any language or framework, full-stack from hardware to frontend.
I mainly work with C#, .NET and JavaScript/TypeScript/React but also work regularly with Python (v3 but also v2). I use Linux, Markdown, git, CI / testing automation and time-series databases (such as InfluxDB) almost daily too.
I maintain Huxley2, a cross-platform CORS enabled JSON ReST proxy for the GB railway Live Departure Boards SOAP API:
- .NET Core ReST JSON web API
- SOAP XML API integration
- Azure DevOps CI/CD (YAML) and Azure hosting
I blog at unop.uk about tech, the environment and many other things.
If you find my work valuable then please consider sponsoring me. I'm also available for hire.
Thanks🕴🏻
