Combine a Raspberry Pi, Smart Meter (Slimme Energiemeter), Python, Rest, TypeScript, AngularJS and some libraries and you've got your own Energie Consumption Portal
Almost a year ago I created my own solution to view both power and natural gas consumption in my home. I'm thinking about creating a blog post series on how you can create one yourself. But.... this will be a long, multipart, time consuming blog post series. Before I start this adventure I first want to find out if there is anybody out there that is actually interested in such a blog post series. In this first post I will just tell you what I did, and if I get enough comments in which readers express their interest in the full series, I'll continue explaining how I did it.

Leverage browser cache in MVC Web API using an action filter
Last week I was working on some sample application that uses MVC Web API to return results to a client framework.

Of course we can work with headers inside our controller actions, but as a big fan of DRY I decided to find out if I can use a different route. As a result I show you the ClientCacheAttribute together with its ClientCache.
