.NET 8 Backend Bootcamp: Modulith, VSA, DDD, CQRS and Outbox (Udemy.com)

The content so far is mostly good, the big issue I've had is the AI diagrams for the different topics, they're so bad, most of them genuinely don't make sense, the words are messed up, spelt wrong and in the wrong place, and the actual diagrams just has glaring mistakes that make them unusable. There are other diagrams that are being shown that are clearly made by people and they are much better. Don't use AI for diagrams

I love the way you teach and deliver knowledge, but if there is one thing that makes me frustrated whenever I come back to continue this course, it is that the focus is mostly on tools and architecture, rather than real-world use cases. For example, I want to understand things like where external integration services should live in the overall application. If I have duplicated external services across multiple modules, or different database integration setups like MongoDB, should I create a shared infrastructure setup that all modules can use to build their own services, or should each module handle this separately? I also want to understand the practical way of thinking about file placement. When should I create repositories, if they are needed at all? Should the feature folder contain side effects, or only orchestrate between different parts of the application? Is it correct to create an Integration folder and treat it like infrastructure, or should integration logic live directly beside the use case folder? These are the kinds of real-world cases I want to learn more about, but I cannot find anyone who can clearly answer these questions. Despite all that, I still appreciate the hard work and the huge amount of effort put into this course. Not many people can create something with this much depth.

I bought the course two years ago, and to this day, EVERYTHING still works exactly as shown in the course. It covers best practices, and you’ll always find something quite useful that helps you understand and learn how .NET and certain packages work. It’s not your typical e-commerce CRUD setup; you’ll actually learn how a complete system works, how to integrate components, how to properly separate responsibilities, and how to properly register libraries. The slides and intro sections help you understand exactly what will be covered in each section, and if you get lost, the source code is available. Don’t expect a deployment to Azure or a web client; expect high-level knowledge of monolithic .NET Web APIs. The course is incredible; I regret not taking it sooner. I hope more courses like this—or focused on .NET—continue to be created. The instructor is 100% recommended. I think you should have a moderate understanding of .NET, because otherwise the whole app design, the scaffolding, the multiple files, cross-project references, and message brokers (RabbitMQ) will be overwhelming. But if you give it a try, you’ll gain spectacular knowledge.

Would be a very good choice if you are a .Net developer who wants to keep up to date with the latest architecture design. Among the all good things, the most thing I like is tutor sharing the planning phase before jumping to the code. Thus, you can use these similar approach insights on your real life projects and get your processes leaner. The project that has been studied on is actually quite realistic and not a small one. Actually, one of the biggest tutorial project I have ever come across on Udemy. Even tutor himself make some minor logical mistakes or forgot to stick to he pattern as the project getting evolved. Other than those, Q&A section looks real dead.

I really liked the structure of the course. Just a small issue: I tried to run everything when you made a demo in the early chapters, but it didn't work with docker-compose from the repo, because the identity schema had not been created in Postgres. We created it manually much later on. It would be good to mention this in the video right away, I had lost quite some time trying to debug this issue. Overall it took me much more time to complete the course than the hours indicated in the description. This is the pure video streaming time, however, so I guess it is ok. Thank you!

The course is well design and introduce the design patterns and concepts when needed. The code is clean and readable so even if you don't understand at first, you can review the code and figure out anything. Feedback: I'm not an expert in .NET so, some of the code syntax was new to me and I had to google it, so, it would be good to have a list of prerequisites for this course, maybe a beginners course completion.

The content of the course is great and covers a lot of concepts. The tutor knows his stuff, which you can clearly tell. I learned some new things. However, this course can be at least 5 hours shorter because of the tedious repetitions of his slides (which sometimes don't even relate to the part of the course you are watching) and he reads them out loud without it having any added value. He says everything he does out loud (remove unnecessary using statements - yes we know already) and it becomes annoying and gives the impression he is creating empty content to sell. But, it is a good course with some really nice content. I would recommend to watch at higher speed and skip some lectures that don't start with Develop once you reach the Basket module part

Mehmet explains best architectural practices like Modular Monoliths, VSA, DDD, CQRS, Outbox Pattern for Reliable and how to practically implement them in .NET. He does it in a fully and well argumented way. He goes beyond showing how to migrate to microservices and create Client Apps to consume Api Module. Accompanying slides are a valuable ressource. A one stop course for .NET developers searching to advance their career.

This course is really great. I learned a lot of new things (e.g. VSA). Even though the author has an accent that takes some getting used to, I was able to follow him completely and understood everything well. I had a lot of fun watching the course and reprogramming it. The theoretical explanations in the first sections in particular give you a few arguments as to why you should switch from monoliths to microservices or modules, for example. The course is very well structured, although it often contains repetitions, which are useful when jumping back and forth between sections. The source code is IMHO very well structured and written in a very understandable way. I was able to follow the whole thing very well. I've bought other courses from the author, which I'm going to look at bit by bit.

I found the course materials to be excellent. As someone returning to .NET after .NET 6, I was able to refresh some knowledge and learn a lot of new things about .NET 8. The content is precious, and the instructor's expertise is evident. I didn't let minor issues with English pronunciation affect my rating because the quality of the teaching is what truly matters. Great job!
