Claude why now 😪

@mwaseemzakir I am building a shortlet platform with a booking and payment feature . I already built 95% of the Auth . I am also using the CQRS pattern . Can you I send you the repo . I would appreciate your feedbacks on it .

The best way to learn ASP .NET Core Web API is to build something real. Not another todo app. Not a copy paste tutorial. A Personal Blogging Platform API is the perfect side project because it starts simple and grows with you. Here is your complete roadmap to building real world backend skills : 𝗕𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗥 Start with the basics and get comfortable. → ASP .NET Core Web API setup → Entities for User, Post and Comment → SQL Server with Entity Framework Core → Code First Migrations → Full CRUD operations → FluentValidation for input validation → Custom Mapper classes to map entities to DTOs → Proper HTTP status codes on every response 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗘 Now add concepts used in real projects. → JWT Authentication and Authorization → Refresh Token implementation → Repository Pattern with Interfaces → Generic Repository for common operations → Pagination, Sorting and Filtering on posts → Global Error Handling Middleware → Custom Exception classes for domain errors → Serilog with structured logging → Environment based configuration with appsettings 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗗 Make it production ready. → Clean Architecture with Domain, Application, Infrastructure and Presentation layers → CQRS with Wolverine for Commands and Queries → Domain Events handled via Wolverine messaging → Background Jobs with Hangfire for email notifications → Redis Caching for frequently read posts → Response Compression and Output Caching → Rate Limiting to protect endpoints from abuse → File Upload support for post cover images using Azure Blob Storage → SignalR for real time comment notifications → Health Checks endpoint for monitoring → Docker and Docker Compose setup → GitHub Actions CI CD Pipeline → API Versioning for backward compatibility One project. Three levels. Real skills. You do not need 50 different projects. Pick this one and go deeper with every iteration. Save this post. Start today. Repost ♻️ would be appreciated #dotnet #csharp #aspnetcore

@TheCodeMan__ How do I get access to existing production code ,this is one thing I have been searching for . It really opens your mind and you learn from senior engineers

𝟭𝟬 years in .NET. If I had to start again today, from zero, this is exactly what I would do. 𝟭. I would master debugging before mastering design patterns. 𝟮. I would learn how HTTP actually works. 𝟯. I would deeply understand async/await. 𝟰. I would learn how memory works in .NET (GC, allocations). 𝟱. I would build one ugly but working CRUD app. 𝟲. I would deploy something in the first 30 days. 𝟳. I would learn Git properly (rebase, squash, cherry-pick). 𝟴. I would read existing production code daily. 𝟵. I would study logging and observability early. 𝟭𝟬. I would learn how to write meaningful commit messages. 𝟭𝟭. I would focus on architecture after building real apps, not before. 𝟭𝟮. I would learn SQL seriously, not just EF Core. 𝟭𝟯. I would understand transactions and isolation levels. 𝟭𝟰. I would practice writing tests that actually fail. 𝟭𝟱. I would learn to read stack traces fluently. 𝟭𝟲. I would learn Docker basics in year one. 𝟭𝟳. I would understand dependency injection internally, not just use it. 𝟭𝟴. I would measure performance before optimizing anything. 𝟭𝟵. I would avoid microservices until I truly need them. 𝟮𝟬. I would build at least one API from scratch without templates. 𝟮𝟭. I would learn how authentication and authorization really work. 𝟮𝟮. I would understand what happens when production crashes. 𝟮𝟯. I would study real post-mortems of outages. 𝟮𝟰. I would learn how to review code properly. 𝟮𝟱. I would keep pull requests small. 𝟮𝟲. I would learn to communicate technical trade-offs clearly. 𝟮𝟳. I would avoid copying architectures from YouTube. 𝟮𝟴. I would understand threading before touching parallelism. 𝟮𝟵. I would learn to read documentation, not just tutorials. 𝟯𝟬. I would build side projects that solve real problems. 𝟯𝟭. I would learn CI/CD in year one. 𝟯𝟮. I would understand how APIs fail and design for failure. 𝟯𝟯. I would study security basics early (OWASP, input validation). 𝟯𝟰. I would seek feedback aggressively. 𝟯𝟱. I would focus on clarity over cleverness. After 10 years, I don’t believe in “learn everything.” I believe in mastering fundamentals deeply. It will sound like an AI, but it's true: Frameworks change. Principles don’t. — Join 20,000+ engineers in the .NET Newsletter.

Having your own otp code Table or allowing Dotnet identity handle it? Which approach scales well and what are the trade offs . Well I allowed identity handle it for me 🙃I would come back to explain my decision and the reasoning behind it 🙃

@TosinOlugbenga SQL server studio 😅😅

Wow! The days of .NET Dreamwaver abi something studio… I have forgotten the names

Some of my design choices are hunting me 😂😂. I made a decision to use jwt tokens , why not cookies ? What are cookies? Stay tuned as I would be answering these questions .

One of the things I have learnt building this project is that every decision has a price and that every part of a system should be carefully designed based on the problem you want to solve . So maybe I should take lessons on system design because….

IP + UserEmail partitionkey but I don’t understand the implementation properly . Any article or book would be appreciated 🙏.I think it is time to move to building the property listing feature of the platform

I haven’t implemented any rate limiter on my endpoints i would move solving that problem to a later date . I read Microsoft official docs on .NET rate limiter . I was looking for something more secure and one of the options I saw was to combine

So I realized I did not consider ResendForgotPasswordEmail 😅😅and logout 😂😂😂😂.i would work on it

Where I am currently 🙃

@vtechthedev Text based , I am able to scan the material and know if it has what I am looking for and also learn a particular section quickly

Which do you prefer: text-based learning or video-based learning?

@viii_fn Is that a .NET book if yes pls can I get my hands on it 😅😅

Forever in my heart, port:3000 Build successful 👏👏👏

@Akintola_steve Yup , Dotnet .

@Ini_Gb_ .NET family or C#?

Everywhere on my timeline I’m used to seeing Postgres dB, mongo dB, oracle dB . Are you guys joking on me ? You all don’t know Microsoft SQL server ? Like MSSQL ?! Or would I say you all are yet to use it ?!

@viktorbensonyt I believe the complexity in this so called “lazy people skills” is sales and marketing

Lazy People Skills: 1. Social media management 2. CapCut video editing 3. Canva graphic designer 4. Running Ads 5. Wordpress web development 6. Nail tech, lash tech or wig revamping One YouTube video and someone has learnt your skill Learn things people are lazy to learn or different to learn 1. Programming 2. AI automation 3. Movie editing 4. Brand designing 5. Network engineering

@Akintola_steve I am definitely joining , just let us know when the link to the community drops 🫡

I’m looking for people who are ready to lock in with zero distractions for the next 3 months. Let’s commit to this roadmap and actually follow through. Forget the AI noise for now. Focus on becoming solid in backend engineering and system design. It might sound unrealistic, but you’ll be surprised at how much you grow by the end of June / early July. Read below 👇🏿

@abolorreeeee Why not 😂. That is my plan for the project i am working on 😹😹

Go Backend has been ready for about 3 weeks now but I’ve been lazy to even start the frontend cos I don’t want to use AI at all 😑

The auth layer is finished as promised . I have to test that everything works fine then I move to working on the property listing .
