What’s In This Issue
JAM PACKED Early Access Content!
This week’s content is not going to remain exclusive, but it is going to be released early. This will include an article and two videos, so I made sure to stuff this one full of goodness! Currently, the load I have for course creation is not affording me an opportunity to keep up with writing blog posts. So in order to ensure I keep my free content being released and not halted, I need to strike a balance.
The first early-access video is all about continuing on our Blazor build series! You can watch it here:
The rest of the early access content you can find in the link below, which is a full article and video!
Featured Content
A reduced set of articles for this week, but course creation is underway! I still have videos to treat you to though.

Avoid These C# Testing Patterns… Unless They Actually Work!
There are a lot of people who take a strong stance that there’s only one right way to do things. I’m not one of them. Here’s a handful of different ways you probably shouldn’t test all of the time, but can still be tremendously helpful.

Community Spotlight
In the future, I’ll be trying to draw attention to not only Software Engineering, C#, and DotNet community members that stood out to me over the past week… I’d like to draw attention to draw attention to members specifically to my community as well. We’ve already had such great discussions in the Discord community with the early birds and it’s led to problem-solving and great video topics. I’d like to continue to encourage the collaboration and help!
dotUltimate Winner
Thanks to all who participated in the dotUltimate license giveaway! I’ll have more opportunities in the future for dotUltimate licenses AND other free goodies. And yes, even if you’ve already followed on other platforms, I’ll be launching a way where you can have chances to win still.
This time, it was much quicker to get a response from the winner! Huge congrats to Jarek:
I also added a little bonus and gave Jarek lifetime access to the Discord community for free.
Last Week’s Coding Challenge
Did you try out last week’s coding challenge? We discussed building a recipe management program. Did you give it a try? Come share it on Discord!
This Week’s Coding Challenge
This week I did not have time to get a solid challenge together… but the good news is, there’s a guy I know with countless awesome programming challenges for you. And that’s John Crickett!
As always, thanks so much for your support! I hope you enjoyed this issue, and I’ll see you next week.
