# Welcome to Jeebs

## History

I am definitely a backend developer at heart, although like everyone I have to write front-facing things sometimes! However I am happiest when I'm writing code that makes frontend development easier - and more beautiful.

The code in these libraries has been under active development and use for over a decade, powering all my own websites, and some for other people as well.

Jeebs v5 (and then v6) came from a) rewriting the entire codebase to make use of improvements in .NET 5.0, and C# 8 & 9, not least to null handling, and b) a COVID lockdown project of learning to write in F#. I thought for a while I might completely switch, but I decided I would prefer to bring some of the things I loved about F# into my C#.

Now with the imminent release of .NET 6, Jeebs v7 is born, pushing the gains of v5 further, and taking advantage of the new features and optimisations of .NET 6.

## Code Snippets

Many of the code snippets are designed to work in the excellent [LINQPad](https://www.linqpad.net).  You will need to install the relevant Jeebs NuGet packages and then import the Jeebs namespaces into your query (press F4 and go from there).​

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bfren.dev/jeebs/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
