If new startups are not adopting the NET stack, does this indicate a concerning trend for the future of NET?
Comment from : @waqasjavaid9274

Comment from : @VirtualWesternCape

Hi Sir, do you have advice for 2025?
Comment from : @zintel3ocbtiga

5:25 - I agree that those technologies are red flags, but should a new NET developer completely avoid them? I believe that, as a beginner, it's worth taking any job in the field—even if it involves outdated technologies—because it provides valuable experience Working with legacy systems helps developers understand transitions like SOAP to REST and can make them valuable to companies investing in tech stack modernization

With 10 years of experience in software engineering, I haven’t worked on NET projects yet, but I’ve recently started learning NET, and I find this content extremely valuable

Which of the three books would you start with first?
Comment from : @AlexPierogi

We love over engineering, micro service everything Why? Oh its scaleable! Did we need scalability? Oh we want to be ready for the future! Do you know what the hot paths are? No but we can scale and use service meshes with Kubernetes! and how do you manage all of this? We'll have lots of teams with dependencies on other teams, slowing down the whole scrum rot we're told to follow!! Oh just go monolith and everything will be fine

Mostly good advice, other than the "don't use Angular, learn React instead" bit
Comment from : @justintoth5921

I'm a React dev and I'm really fascinated that he highlights this particular library over all the others (Angular, Vue, etc) Not that I mind, I love React I just know a lot of people really love other front end frameworks as well and React isn't a complete solution out of the box
Comment from : @timbauer399

Dude! I'm speechless! Right down to the point to the question of "What should I do? I'm stuck!" THANK you so much, man!
Comment from : @8T8Keez

Thanks for the precise roadmap and clear do's and don't's I was completely lost in this jungle😮
Comment from : @debasishsahoo7452

I interested in unity, after learning c# basic & logic in terminal/console, should i go for c# web dev?brbrBecause its too hard if i jump straight to unity after learning from terminal/console, i feel like it's still not enough to leap into unity, it's like a whole different concept to me,brbrI haven't tried it yet, but i think c# web dev is the bridge between the easy (terminal/console) and the hard (unity), do you think that is true? Or c# web dev is not related to unity, and i should avoid it if i just want to go to unity?
Comment from : @haris19

Thanks for the video, what about books for the sql server?
Comment from : @absurdist1330

There does seem to be a tech divide between companies that use NET and companies that don't I'm not saying one company is better than the other, but I've seen bzero/b companies that both use NET and its related features (EF, SQL Server, etc) alongside app ecosystems that don't (PHP, Laravel, JS, Django, Ruby, PostgreSQL, and so on) There's usually someone high up or some team lead / principal / architect that calls out the need to go one direction
Comment from : @ryuhaneda

Is Clean code really a good book ? Many people say it's rules don't actually apply as rigooristically as the author would claimbrAlso - mentioning politics at all is strange - Nobody should do that unless the person they are talking about is actually some kind of near-criminal in that sense
Comment from : @nc956

Wait, wait , wait
Comment from : @kaihusravnajmiddinov5413

First of all thank you for the information about almost everything I am curious that NET Core versions always up to date and there is always and end of support(I am not sure, maybe there's LTS versions?) does this cause a problem I want to make sure that the project should be working in the long time

5:40 why am I insane?
Comment from : @Wolcik3000

4:30 brso what does startups nowdays use ?
Comment from : @AveeVisualizer

Did I just watch an experienced developer call React a framework?brbrReact is a javascript library NextJS is a SPA FrameworkbrbrbrIf you are looking to be a developer the first thing you need to understand is that the VAST majority of youtube developers are here for a reason and that reason is not because they are employed in the industry

So you are saying, there is no need to even touch Blazor and MAUI until you are senior?
Comment from : @MrBustroj

Blazor is so greater than anything in the planet !!! So, I'm not at all agree with you
Comment from : @gabrielrabhi3357

Trying to learn development nowadays is so freaking difficult because they keep abstracting and abstracting and abstracting brthem: "You just need to click these two buttons and boom your websites online!" brme: "and umm what just happened exactly?" (answer, literally a million things)
Comment from : @S-we2gp

Comment from : @jordydemeyere5029

Comment from : @ziadtalaat4

I just graduated CS and I've spent the past 2 semesters diving deep into game development with C# and Unity Upon wondering what kinds of domains use C#, I've found myself becoming very attractive to NET Game dev is fun, but I just want to be hirable and work in an established professional environment Thank you for the well laid-out advice
Comment from : @fignuuuts

Comment from : @BrainITTools

The good news is the big Enterprise companies and the old software companies tend to be much more stable than the latest and greatest start up So pick your poison carefully
Comment from : @simplereef4854

thank you so much for your calmness it give me a good feeling
Comment from : @IMV17X

seriously i love how honest you are, i mean every other videos would say oh you can learn visual basics or F# idk but u gave us what we looked for thanks
Comment from : @IMV17X

I've created quite a few of webpages using Wordpress (and some other integrated solutions) without any coding knowledge Had I dwelled into that, I'd loose years of time and still the gained knowledge would be insufficient to match the Wordpress efficiency: choose hosting, theme, set up the content, add few plugins, done brIn addition, should I ever need actual coding, AI will help me in that regardbrNow I obviously talked about frontend, for backend one needs to know how stuff actually works so yeah go invest time into SQL and C# for that
Comment from : @oneoneoneman

I liked your sincerity
Comment from : @luanabaratta

Hi I have career gap 10 years Which is better Java or Net??
Comment from : @SoniyaSai-jl5hd

I've been a NET dev for almost 10 years now and I been loving the yearly updates starting with NET 5 back in 2020 I still really hate WebForms and VB6 to this day 🤮
Comment from : @larrytron1992

You mentioned that most startups these days aren't using C# So what are they using?

Comment from : @mrnabby4178

Great video, thanks!
Comment from : @asterizk

I’m a student of a software development program at a polytechnic and we started learning blazor immediately after console applications I can confirm that the abstraction doesn’t allow me to actually understand what I am doing It does make building applications quite easy, I find it much easier than react, but I definitely wish I started with something lower level
Comment from : @TylerSocholotuik

Really interesting video I'm subscribing I'll be looking forward for more good content
Comment from : @CarlosWashingtonMercado

Hmm i don't agree to waste your time on MVC instead brDive deeper in c# and new net tech such as blazor for web development
