I went poking around the Quartz.Net repository while trying to answer some related questions on StackOverflow. I noticed that there is now a quartznet-3 branch present (although it’s apparently been there for a couple of months). I pulled the branch but I was unable to build it. It was interesting to see that some things have changed, so you should expect to hear more about those in the form of blog posts.
Continue ReadingI’ve been working with Raspberry Pi hardware for a while now, but mostly using the tools that are more common in the space. That means that my devices have all been running Raspbian as the OS and that the programs I’ve written for them have all been written in Python.

If we search through the Quartz.Net codebase we’ll find two classes that implement the ISchedulerListener interface: SchedulerListenerSupport and BroadcastSchedulerListener. Let’s look at these guys in detail now.
