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.
@@Daysra Bob Tabor does a fantastic job explaining information in his C# tutorials. I'd say they're both my favorites when it comes to clear and concise explanation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! :)
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!
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!
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!
@Abhijit Desai I heard the language was originally called "C cool" but because they had to change its name due to legal reasons, it became "C sharp". I don't think it has anything to do with that, but who knows lol...
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 TH-cam video I guess 😂
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?
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.
this dude is so awsome, the way he explains it, its appealing to my tiny walnut brain... 12:06 "i thought it would be nice for you to see someone drive a stick drift rather than an automatic" that line killed me jajaja, loved it, loved the analogy
.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
@@jarrichvdv for that if statement, yes, it wasn't necessary. But when you have like 5 if/else this is just glorious :D same with tuple deconstruction, pick right tool for a problem.
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.
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.
Thanks for making this video. I've come across a few videos like this that help me in my understanding of C#, since I recently started a course in C# on LinkedIn Learning.
I have always been a fan of. NET and C# since the early 2000s, when I convinced our company to adopt the .Net technology for our development language of choice. I so loved Silverlight and XNA. It was so sad to see those technologies die. Especially being so sick of having to grasp javascript to do anything Web client. It was so great that Xamarin adopted. NET when Microsoft faltered at build 2011. I could build Android games in Monogame C#, and I can now with Unity. In the the last couple years I have been seduced into python, getting up to speed with ML. This seemed to be universal, and applicable for hosting apps on Linux and cloud etc. I have felt a little overwhelmed with the various flovours of ASP and different. Net frameworks in the last ten years. But now with the focus on. NET core, in the last month or so. I now undersnd and can build Windows and Linux apps, dockerise them in Linux containers, local test on Windows, and deeply to Cloud and Kubernetes clusters with confidence. It's all pretty amazing, as I feel more productive with a strongly typed language, and my love of C# is enabling me to get distribute across a wide range of platforms, architectures and applications. Except for Web pages, being stuck with Java script. Still so sad reminiscing over Silverlight.
@@hamoudrodriguez2702 Ah Thanks I noticed that template in VS2019. It looks cool way for me to avoid JavaScript and remain in C#. It seems tol be still emergent . Looking forward to access to the Canvas from the Web assembly. Currently looks as though sever reach back only supported.Then I can return to developing cool dynamic graphics on the web. Which I was able to do in Silver light 10 years ago. Will have a play. Cheers.
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.
I feel the same way. I wish all the programming tutorial videos are done by Scott lol.
im not a programmer, im just browsing the field, i agree too with this statement
That's what I couldn't put my finger on. He has a very Mr. Rogers vibe to him doesn't he? Totally a compliment. Loved that man.
@@Daysra Bob Tabor does a fantastic job explaining information in his C# tutorials. I'd say they're both my favorites when it comes to clear and concise explanation.
Hi
Me at minute 12: "Looking good so far!" ... then after that just got "What tha... Is that really C#!?!?" Completely overwhelmed!! Thanks Scott!
Yeah, I still haven't gotten around to learning to use lamda fully. There is a lot you do there.
Looool Exactly!!!
Give it time and the C# compiler will actually start accepting F# code. :)
This is the most welcoming presentation to software development I’ve ever seen. If I was just starting it would wipe all fears

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
I didn't know Ryan Reynolds did programming videos on youtube.
🤣
He’s just as funny as Ryan Reynolds as well😆
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
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.
You are quite possibly the most skilled with the keyboard of anyone I can recall in recent memory. It's mesmerizing...
Scott, the quality stuff you teach is always important to the existing and upcoming devs around the world. Thank you for 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!
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.
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! :)
I love that color in your home office. Looking for some pallets in mine, and really digging yours.
Thanks. It’s a Lifx Beam
As a nodejs Dev, really confused why TH-cam suggested this to me but Def not complaining.. Really enjoyed this
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!
Just started in .NET world 6 months back, this is the best intro. .NET can have. Subscirbed. :)
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).

Best 18 mins on. Net which gives clear and straight forward answers. Thanks for the video
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!
This was helpful. I did not quite understand everything that sat under the label .net
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!
I have been a .Net programmer for 2 years this is super helpful
I think this is the best dotnet explanation on youtube
Yay!
Thanks for that intro to .NET
sudo yay
Abhijit Desai C was a language that was invented a while ago. After c came c++. Then came c#
@Abhijit Desai I heard the language was originally called "C cool" but because they had to change its name due to legal reasons, it became "C sharp". I don't think it has anything to do with that, but who knows lol...
@Abhijit Desai C# = C++++. Hashtag = four plus signs.
Great video.. been in .net since birth, this is the better explanation I've ever heard of the .NET ecosystem.
I can attest to the 101 videos Scott mentions at 18:15 , fantastic videos.
This was awesome. I’m the typical coding boot camp alumni 5 years into this career and never knew any of this. Thank you❤
As a fellow creator and .Net + C# advocate, I can say your doing a great job.
Whenever you say "hello friends", I FEEL that.
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)
};
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!!
"You don't necessarily have to go looking for a library just because you want to leftpad a string" 🤣
I have always admire your communication skills, but this time you went ASMR. Fantastic.
The single best video about .NET on the entire Internet.
Your way of explaining things is simply superb.
This is an amazing video. After being a .NET dev around 10 years, now I enjoy "driving the stick" 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 know it. Notepad is an IDE and PowerPoint-replacement
Awesome introduction for me as a java developer to understand all the surroundings. It helped me a lot.
What a godlike explanation! Also, as a college student coming fresh off learning c++, that c# switch case lambda expression looks like witch-craft.
Coming from Java and Python this was exactly what I needed. Thank You So Much!
Best part is that we are a welcoming community!
Wow. I had no idea you could do all that with .NET. Thank you.
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.
This is me now. I notice this comment is 1 year old, how are you doing now?
@@MAAXXv This is also me now! How are you coming along, seeing as how its also been a year for you now lol
Stick shift vs automatic, great analogy
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.
Certainly the best .net overview I've seen and I've seen a lot!
No one does break downs like Scott!
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!
I can literally can smell the knowledge from this guy

Love this video, had to jump around until I found someone that actually broke it down thankyou!
Appreciate the explanation but mostly I'm impressed by the control of the console, the presentation tools... wow
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
Top-notch exposition as usual 👍

Microservices and .NET from you would be very welcomed . Your contents are pur gold.Thank a lot scott@goldheart !
This is a lovely and compact introduction. Thanks!
Just an awesome explanation before diving into .NET or C#

very excited!!!

top notch overview, Mr Hanselman!
As a lazy js dev c#9 looks very appealing to me. Thanks for all the info
Nice synopsis. Great job.
14:00 Holyshit that code looks alien to me. And I love it
Seriously, would never have been able to convince me that is C#.
Lots of things has changed in c# 8.0.
I'd be pissed if my coworker wrote code like that.
That looks genuinely horrible. It's like they ran a competition on how to make a simple statement look as over-engineered as possible.

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