What to read on the weekend? Recommended, issue number 7

This is a selection of articles on the topic of web development on the .NET platform (and not only). The day before the weekend, I offer a set of interesting links that should be visited during the free moments on the weekend to learn something new and interesting.

You can follow the cycle of these tips at the following link .

In this issue, I added the section “HTML5 and Web Standards”, which will contain links to news and articles on modern web standards. So far there are not many of them, but next time I will try to find a good set of materials.
