Scott I find your presentation style strangely reminiscent of Mr. Rogers. Calm, candid, informative and friendly. Your ability to communicate complex technical subjects in simple layman's terms is amazing. Please don't ever change.

Me at minute 12: "Looking good so far!" ... then after that just got "What tha... Is that really C#!?!?" Completely overwhelmed!! Thanks Scott!

This is the most welcoming presentation to software development I’ve ever seen. If I was just starting it would wipe all fears

9:28 LOL I thought I was the only one who used poop as a placeholder name for classes/variables/etc when I'm just messing around. Glad to see another grown man with an eight year old's sense of humor.

I gotta say that this is pretty impressive… not only the way you explain things so clearly but also how simple you make it look like

Master programmer and master in delivery/presenting as well. Please, dont think about retirement yet Scott, for we still need your mastery for much longer time.

"driving a stick" - brilliant. Joking aside, it is always great to see a master craftsman in action, picking up so many small tips here and there

Scott, the quality stuff you teach is always important to the existing and upcoming devs around the world. Thank you for that.

It is funny how we want to come back to pre OOP times with simple functions. I love classes but the last few years I have been writing a lot static classes with static functions in C#, looking forward to do it in C# 9. Thanks for the preview! :)

C# is a particularly fun language to use. 🙂 Also I'm so happy that I can create platform agnostic software with it. Write once, run everywhere. Using an ultra efficient, non-verbose multiparadigm language that takes functional programming as seriously as everything else. 10/10.

I love that color in your home office. Looking for some pallets in mine, and really digging yours.

This was helpful. I did not quite understand everything that sat under the label .net

Yay!

EXCELLENT. Thank you SO MUCH for this very short but very useful explanation! I love the use of "equivalencies" with other programming languages (Java, Node/JS, etc). I wish more polyglottal developers would make more content like this to help experienced developers "cross-pollinate" from "ecosystem to ecosystem" (Java -> MS, TS/JS -> Java, etc - there are endless variations). So once again, THANK YOU! I needed a very fast intro because of a project I'm diving into and this helped immensely!

You are quite possibly the most skilled with the keyboard of anyone I can recall in recent memory. It's mesmerizing...

Thank you! Coming from web dev using javascript for front and backend, I had no idea what all this stuff was. C# vs .Net vs .Net Core vs ASP, etc etc.

I can attest to the 101 videos Scott mentions at 18:15 , fantastic videos.

I have always admire your communication skills, but this time you went ASMR. Fantastic.

Best 18 mins on. Net which gives clear and straight forward answers. Thanks for the video

"You don't necessarily have to go looking for a library just because you want to leftpad a string" 🤣

Mind is absolutely blown by C# 9!!! Wow! Scott Hanselman got me excited about mvc about 10 years ago, here’s he doing it again!

I love these videos from Scott. It's got me back to being a full-time Windows user. All these videos remind me of what Ryan Bates did for Rails and Ruby with Railscasts. Also thanks for the great video on how to set up Windows Terminal on WSL2. Can't wait for more of the C# and .Net stuff.

Whenever you say "hello friends", I FEEL that.

As some one who does not know the first thing about any programing at all, this demystified so many things for me. Ill be following for more!

I didn't know Ryan Reynolds did programming videos on youtube.

I think this is the best dotnet explanation on youtube

Great video.. been in .net since birth, this is the better explanation I've ever heard of the .NET ecosystem.

I come from the future. I was thrown for a loop when you showed the current .net 3.1 LTS is supported until 2022-12-03, which was last month. Time flies when you're a KZfaq video I guess 😂

I’m glad KZfaq suggested this video and I found your channel. Subscribed, and looking forward to going back and watching your videos!

The single best video about .NET on the entire Internet.

I have been a .Net programmer for 2 years this is super helpful

Fantastic video. I was one of those coding bootcamp JavaScript folks and I started supplementing with CS fundamentals and exploring lower level languages, like Go. I am finally getting to some meat and potatoes of building cool things and you have made me very excited to get started.

What a godlike explanation! Also, as a college student coming fresh off learning c++, that c# switch case lambda expression looks like witch-craft.

I've been working with .net for 10 years and watched this to learn how to better explain certain things - I learned that and some other new things as well!

THANK YOU! I've been looking at people trying to explain this in blogs and such for a bit and nothing really stuck with me. Your comparisons to node/express/npm really helped me understand what .Net is

I love the micro humour in your tutorial, makes it interesting

Just started in .NET world 6 months back, this is the best intro. .NET can have. Subscirbed. :)

This was awesome. I’m the typical coding boot camp alumni 5 years into this career and never knew any of this. Thank you❤

Wow. I had no idea you could do all that with .NET. Thank you.

A big breakthrough in my understanding of .NET was when I stopped trying to find any semblance of meaning in the term .NET. "Is it a website ending in .net? Are the file extensions .net? Is it short for network? Is .net a reference to it being web based? Do I pronounce the .? Do I spell out the NET when I say it, N-E-T? Is NET an acronym?" All enormous mental roadblocks in my coming to understand .NET.

Your way of explaining things is simply superb.

As a fellow creator and .Net + C# advocate, I can say your doing a great job.

I've been a .NET Developer for over a decade but I've heavily depended on Visual Studio. After recently picking up Node and enjoying working with VS Code and Terminal, I'd love to do the same with C#. Please tell me more about the tools you used in this video -- what Terminal is that, how is one tab of it in Linux? What extensions are needed in VS Code? What color theme was that you used?

I know it. Notepad is an IDE and PowerPoint-replacement

No one does break downs like Scott!

this is the best explanation of .net i've seen

THIS should be the main video at the dotnet resources page

14:00 Holyshit that code looks alien to me. And I love it

When I say C#9 I gasped. I am loving it!!!! Thank you for the video, I already loved c# and .NoT Framework, now I love it even more!!

It would be fantastic a video where you explain about design patterns, best practices to create an API, best way to create a class and its properties, interfaces, dependency injection... EXCELLENT video by the way.

This is an amazing video. After being a .NET dev around 10 years, now I enjoy "driving the stick" as well.

Stick shift vs automatic, great analogy

Certainly the best .net overview I've seen and I've seen a lot!

Best part is that we are a welcoming community!

Man, I'm happy to be a part of this grate eco system) Day when .net core came out made this platform one of the best. Thank you, guys, for your work!

Dude thank you for putting this out. I've really never understood what it was until this!

As a nodejs Dev, really confused why KZfaq suggested this to me but Def not complaining.. Really enjoyed this

The highlight for me was when you renamed the namespace to ‘poop’. Thanks Scott!

When you said "base class libraries" it sounded to me at first like you said "basic ass libraries" and I had to double take that part. I need to get my mind out of the gutter lol.

Thank you, this clarified a lot of question I had

Had to stop at 6:40~, you're doing a great job! love the use of presentation software, and whatever you've done to your terminal I like that too. I've subscribed and will be checking out your videos. Thanks man

You are one of the most awesome sir that i meet here in my life!! amazing sir, keep this tracket!! thanks

As a lazy js dev c#9 looks very appealing to me. Thanks for all the info

Finally I understand what .NET is, thanks

I was wondering where I knew him from and then I remembered that he was doing that input C-sharp introduction course on the Microsoft learn.

You can be even more "terse" with C#9 like this if you want: int fib9(int i) => i switch { 1, _ => fib9(i - 2) + fib9(i - 1) };

Love this video, had to jump around until I found someone that actually broke it down thankyou!

Awesome introduction for me as a java developer to understand all the surroundings. It helped me a lot.

Coming from Java and Python this was exactly what I needed. Thank You So Much!

Finally the video I’ve been looking for! Thank you 🙏

Why is it that I sat through a xamaran presentation in college (from a professor) and never learned it was an open source knock off (so to speak) of .net framework? Thank god for you man!

Fantastic, straightforward explanation.

That coding skills are impressive, i wish you could do a video on how to move that smoothly!!!! a mind blowing

I can literally can smell the knowledge from this guy

After looking what .Net is this video helped me getting an idea. I don't want to say i really know what .Net is but i have the idea of it.

You are just a world class person man... thank you.

Just an awesome explanation before diving into .NET or C#

Scott, thank you for taking the time. Awesome video!

incredibly concise and clear vid thx

thanks! for the overview! will start learning C# now with your video tuts on the other channel. very excited!!!

Great Presentation Scott! I'm starting dotnet at work and your explanation just blew me away. Keep it up

Microservices and .NET from you would be very welcomed . Your contents are pur gold.Thank a lot scott@goldheart !

Top-notch exposition as usual 👍

I have 0 experience of coding, as an system administrator. The dot.net/videos is so brilliant, I cannot find an introduction series that is better than this. Thanks Scott, you know EVERYTHING.

This is a lovely and compact introduction. Thanks!

top notch overview, Mr Hanselman!

Beautiful breakdown.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

14:00 Functional transformation of the language, on sterroids. Very different than the OO or even structured legacy. But I like it. 15:00 Call it "purely" functional. Whereas CSharp has matured and transformed over the years.

I loved the part showing procedural style. Coming from C/Python I hate OOP boiler plates.

Nice synopsis. Great job.

Appreciate the explanation but mostly I'm impressed by the control of the console, the presentation tools... wow

.NET has always been very interesting to me.... very on par with java as being somewhere between top & low level languages and very accessible and just a great first environment to get started in getting used to C# back in the day from a C/C++ background was just a treat

I working with .NET since 5 years... (started earlier but what ever). I really love it...but I really struggle with the thought that there is a new version every year. Yes it has LTS...but it'll still be a huge deal for startups or small companies to change the versions all the time. Also I can already see that the docs will become a mess. 3 years, and we have 3 doc entries for 3 versions.... And all interesting articles out there will always run the newest version...which pretty much means that there will be a lack of information on .NET 5 stuff once .NET 6 is out there. It is already hard to get answers to a question sometimes, since google (or StackOverflow) does not manage to sort out answers from 2010.

9:21 really?! That's the first thing that you could think of Scott 😂

im a student getting into dotnet for game modding on my own time. seems my practice with sql will serve me well here. great video

Great way to explain it, Scott... I've been a .net lover for over 10 years.

I wish more large ecosystems were introduced like this. Super fancy!!

As always Scott, Thank you, the best explanation of .NET...

Great insight, really. But I'm wondering why VB didn't appear in your video title "What is .NET? What is C# and F#?..." and you didn't show a demo with VB... that makes me sad though.
