Hi, guys!

I am the creator of My Tested ASP.NET - testing libraries with more than 50k downloads for the new ASP.NET Core and the old ASP.NET Web API 2 frameworks. You can check the source code on GitHub: https://github.com/ivaylokenov

Recently I decided to start a channel on YouTube to share my developing experience with the projects. I want to post mainly advanced C# coding techniques.

Three videos have been already uploaded: - Optimize C# reflection by using delegates - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Akdz4Ukdxc - Beautify ugly C# reflection code by using the dynamic type - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ2KZIcUxDM - How to test ASP.NET Core web applications with My Tested ASP.NET - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf2P-410Za4

Future topics include: - Designing a fluent interface by using the builder pattern - How to not get lost with generics and their shenanigans - How My Tested ASP.NET works behind the scenes - Using reflection because you are lazy - Refactoring bad code by example - Entity Framework Core best practices for performance - Bend your code by using expression trees - The ASP.NET Core internal secrets - Writing testable code should be easy if you follow the rules - Creating pluggable architecture to make developers happy - Understanding in-memory databases - Building a license code generator to protect your software - The new ASP.NET Core endpoint routing - Demystifying industry buzzwords - TDD vs. BDD vs. ATDD - Razor Pages - the solution to "fat" controller code

The channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP5Ons7fK3yKhX6lhc9XcfQ

Any feedback is more than welcome.

I will be pleased if you find my content useful, subscribe to the channel and share it with your C# friends!

Thank you!

Best of luck, but not sure if those are advanced.

Implementing Pipeline pattern for genetic actions are advanced I think.

I have no idea for expert topics, but I think everything with own memory allocation, ...

Will follow

I would recommend to change your VS theme to dark mode bc it's better for the eyes of your viewers but i like the idea of the channel.

What kind of computer do you use? Sounds like MacBook keyboard.

Friendly tip, check out Matt Wadstein's Unreal Engine tutorials, he's been doing it for 3 or 4 years and he also specializes in very small videos that talk about a single concept.

people who are trying to learn programming generally are more accepting than others but even I I've had problems trying to understand someone due to their accent. This is particularly problematic when you're dealing with some deep concepts. one solution, which might make it a little bit harder to make videos, it's just simply have subtitles. I use them before when trying to understand something difficult and I just looked at the screen see what the person said and it made sense. The auto-generated captions we'll probably not pick up everything particularly programming language concepts. Just a thought.

Also you might want to reach out to some unity developers on YouTube since that's built on c#. A lot of people want to learn how to develop games and you can get a lot more subscribers referred to you from unity videos.

Which tools are you using to produce this ? Software and hardware, if you don't mind asking...
