This week covers the chain of responsibility design pattern in C# end-to-end with the complete guide, implementation, decision guide, and best practices, plus the template method pattern with a real-world example, best practices, and a strategy pattern comparison. On the reflection side, we have expression trees as a reflection alternative, UnsafeAccessor for private member access, Native AOT safety with DynamicallyAccessedMembers, reflection vs source generators, and how DI containers use reflection internally. Rounding it out: the complete ASP.NET Core Web API guide and a deep look at ASP.NET Core routing.

Master ASP.NET Core Web API in .NET 10 -- learn request pipelines, routing, controllers, JWT authentication, error handling, and deployment strategies.

Build a real-world template method pattern example in C# with a complete document processing pipeline showing practical inheritance-based workflow design.

Learn how UnsafeAccessor in C# (.NET 8+) gives you direct access to private fields, methods, and constructors -- avoids reflection lookup overhead on the hot path, AOT-friendly when the target type and member are statically known at compile time.

Discover when to use the chain of responsibility pattern in C# with decision criteria, practical scenarios, and examples showing where handler chains fit best.

Learn how to make C# reflection compatible with Native AOT in .NET 10 using DynamicallyAccessedMembers, RequiresUnreferencedCode, and trim-safe patterns.
