  • There should be a video like this for every programming language/framework! Brutally honesty is always appreciated by smart people.

    I'm 70 years old and started to learn dotnet core last year. I'm good at building console application and have started with aspnet MVC. Next year I plan to learn some vanilla javascript. Thanks to channel owner for your honest advice. God bless you

    The best advice I've ever heard in my life. The most accurate description of what .Net and its ecosystem is. I absolutely agree with everything!
  • @adamakomou7318
    That’s how you do it when you know your stuff! Clear, concise, and covers all the key elements.

    Man, you are sooooo right! I'm a C++/C# developer since decades, and this really warms my heart. Thank you!

    Subscribed!! Thanks for this valuable info. I started as a React dev, but learning C# and .Net core has been such a breath of fresh air.
  • Thank you so much for this video much needed , worked in mern stack and joined a startup where they were using .net core . Did a web form project at uni nothing else about C#. Watched your video of difference between .net,core and c# and started to make some apis (not following youre advice ) , was demotivated but , end of video gave me some inspiration that "You need to understand how it all works " .
  • Great video! I agree completely. The topic I'm interested in, which you could maybe cover in the future, is the comparison of the Blazor framework and React...
  • @ecblanco
    As I .NET developer, I approve this message. GREAT VIDEO!
  • @johnmurphy_04

  • @Funkbassfushion
    Spot on with testable code, SOLID and understanding dependency injection!

    I'm a .Net developer for 23 years (yes, right from the first previews) and my comment is simple: I agree 100% 👍
  • @georgemilev4831
    Awesome video! It perfectly describes my experience with .NET
  • @ndasss9563
    You're a realist i like that. Thank you for the guide
  • I’ve been learning .NET for the past 1 year and this is the first video that summarises my journey. I learnt it in order. I build API and use React JS for frontend. I need community where I can have accountability partners where we can work on fun projects together while I’m searching for job
  • Great recommendations. I'm not even a .NET developer, but as a developer with many years of experience, I can tell this is well intentioned, and bullseye accurate. Liaten to this man if you want to be a .NET developer.
