Instructor Details

Colin Munoz

Hi. I am a passionate and creative software engineer with a strong focus on simplicity and thorough details. I have been programming since high school and I have been involved with multiple web and desktop using .net.

I have a master's of science degree in computer science and a Bachelor of Computer Engineering. I also have many years of experience with .NET C# and .NET MVC. I enjoy teaching along with my full-time job.

For me, the most important part about writing and teaching code is to eliminate the hardships of every student out there who is willing to learn but cannot find adequate resource which is easy to understand. Coding is a way to be creative and have fun!

Excellent UWP course. I am an experienced developer - and I can tell you that I am impressed by the explanations that this instructor has done. He is thorough and I can see a high level of professionalism in his approach. As I am taking his class, I feel as if I am in a boot camp, with all other attendees. I am also impressed with the level of practicality- here there is no "technobabble", everything is explained in a language you will understand, then you can practise.
