In this short blog post I want to present a little application I made around three years ago. At that moment I was working on a small team developing a .NET full framework application and we used SonarQube to measure technical metrics. You can always explicitly navigate to the project dashboard but I wanted to have a daily summary in my inbox. The version of SonarQube that we had didn’t support that functionality so based on a previous full .NET framework application were I was playing with the SonarQube server rest API I built this little .NET Core application to get SonarQube metric email reports in my inbox ...

Back in 2008 I was a fulltime senior .NET developer. .NET Framework 3.5 was recently released, Visual Studio 2008, TFS 2008, SQL Server 2008, Silverlight, Windows Vista.. I was fully commited to .NET and all Microsoft related technologies and products Also by that time I was able to bought my first laptop.

Back in 2015 I was in United States on vacations an decided to bought a Raspberry Pi Canakit. The latest model at that moment was 2 B and the possibilities were infite: learn bash, play movies in a non-smart TV, remote play music, task automation The reality was a little different. It ended mostly resting in a drawer of my desk until I decided to sell it in 2017.. Maybe lots of you share a similar story ...
