Patient Zero’s Way of Working is the product of our hard won experience delivering hundreds of applications


Delivering working applications on time and to budget is an incredibly complex challenge.

At Patient Zero we started with a simple question; how can organisations improve their software development capability?


Our research and practical experience quickly identified that some of the biggest challenges organisations face is creating an environment where the road blocks facing developers can be removed, so they can focus on delivering working software.

Over the years we’ve refined and tested this approach and distilled it into our Way of Working across consulting, application development and managed services.

The ability to preview files directly within a web application is a major enhancement to user experience. Enabling users to view uploaded documents or images without needing to download them first saves time and reduces frustration. This can be a game changer in document-heavy applications where users frequently and recursively review and upload files through the interface. There are many libraries, packages, software subscriptions, and external API services (you name it!) that exist to solve this problem. But when spoiled for choice, it can be difficult to decide on which kind of solution best fits your application’s needs. This article explores this conundrum in the context of .NET Core web applications, with a focus on their specific quirks and requirements.
