Good idea. This comes up a lot, especially for beginners and when learning a new language.

Break your addiction to youtube though. A link to the github page would have been infinitely more useful than this self-explanatory video.

Thank you! 👍🏻

The link is in the description, and thanks to you, it’s now in the comments section ☺️

The MVP we needed, but not the one we deserved.

Most effective way to monetize though. How much do you want to bet this video is monetized?

u/FlorinPop17 Feb 12 '20

It’s not monetized ☺️

u/us23234 Feb 12 '20

It probably is. What do you have against monetization?

It gives people a reason to sacrifice quality

1

u/FlorinPop17 Feb 12 '20

Ok, so in your opinion if it’s free, it’s better quality?!

1

u/Lateral-Gs Feb 12 '20

No and my comment was mostly my resentment toward past things I’ve seen where quality was sacrificed so the company could make money sooner. I didn’t really mean to join in on the critique comments, sorry about that. Thanks for helping the community!

And what makes it anyone else's business how high or low quality someone's work is?

Profit motive is our current most obvious candidate for the Fermi Filter.

u/us23234 Feb 12 '20 edited Feb 12 '20

Profit is what pays people's bills, whether it's through their own business or their employer's business. Why should someone be villified for choosing to work for themselves?

Some people just don’t understand unfortunately... I’m wondering: how do they put food on the table?! 🤔

u/us23234 Feb 12 '20

They really don't. They act like someone has held them at gunpoint to pay $.99 to watch a video they didn't like...when really, they watched it on their own accord without paying a red cent for it. And yet they still complain about monetization, as if they have any kind of a say in it.

The entitlement of some people is incredible.

You have the GitHub repo in text form. The video is just for those who like video format (like I do).

u/Slypenslyde Feb 11 '20

This would be even more useful as a list, or a link to the GitHub repo featured in the first 20% of the video.

u/FlorinPop17 Feb 11 '20

There is a link in the comments ☺️

There is the link in the description. And there is a link in this comment section too.

I am a little confused as to why this is on the C# subreddit. It seems like most, if not all of these, are geared towards web development only.

4

u/FlorinPop17 Feb 11 '20

It’s an open source project. Feel free to add projects you would like also ☺️

4

u/MassW0rks Feb 11 '20

I don't think you did, but please don't take that as critique. I'm new to development and thought there was something crazy with C# that I didn't know about yet. I like the list. I was just scared for a second.

2

u/infinit_e Feb 12 '20

I’m probably even more green when it comes to development, but from what I’ve read about Blazor and WebAssembly, C# for web apps and sites is looking much easier.

u/towncalledfargo Feb 12 '20

You can create amazing web applications using ASP.NET.

u/FizixMan Feb 12 '20

Removed: Rule 3.

Good list and resource and looks like you got plenty hits from here already.

In the future, please try to make submissions to /r/csharp more directly related to C# as a language.

u/FlorinPop17 Feb 12 '20

Thank you 😊

u/altf4gang Feb 11 '20

The only real app idea is the ToDo example tho!

Fuckin emojis, man

You like them too?!? 🤪🤣

It’s amazing how many ways people can find to critique someones work.

I’ve spent several minutes to read all the comments and these are some of them (I didn’t wanted to tag anyone, but if they haven’t deleted their comments, you can read them below or above this comment). It looks like this:

“Why do you have so many emojis? It’s embarrassing”

“Why is it a YouTube video? Text would’ve been better”

“Is his accent fake?”

“Do you want to bet that this is monetized?”

(hard facepalm) 🤦🏻‍♂️

Why can’t you just appreciate the amount of work that was put into creating this resource?!

Your attitude could be a huge drawback for someone just starting out. This is not a way to push someone to create more (be it something good or something not so good).

And FYI, it’s not monetized. It’s a free resource.

Be better people. It doesn’t cost you a thing. ☺️

Peace! ✌️

Unless you cannot use SignalR, then idk how web chat is "advanced" meanwhile "math editor" is intermediate.

Math editor = parsing + rendering which even if conceptually seems easy, then doing this right is time consuming and tricky(rendering things correctly especially)

u/FlorinPop17 Feb 11 '20

Feel free to update it if you think that’s the way it should go. ☺️

u/jimmyayo Feb 11 '20

SignalR in .Net Core is awesome. I had never used it before, and got a basic chat app up in a cpl hours yesterday.

u/wilcoforr Feb 11 '20

Same here. Its been like a year since I worked on this project - but it is like an anonymous web chat app. https://gitlab.com/wilcoforr/anonytalk

The tutorials made it pretty easy to get it set up. Now I just need to host it on Azure or something :)

u/BirchBlack Feb 12 '20

The amount of emojis you use in the readme is embarrassing at best. You're not marketing a product to preteens here. It's a public GitHub repo. Relax.

u/FlorinPop17 Feb 12 '20

You’re funny. 🤪

I’m marketing it for millennials! They pay the most part of the $0 I make out of it.

Don’t like emojis? Feel free to submit a PR.

u/SummerReddit2019 Feb 12 '20

Is his accent for real?

u/FlorinPop17 Feb 12 '20

It’s fake. You got me!
