Dometrain Course Feedback
New 5 star review for course Getting Started: ASP.NET Core!
May 2025
Review feedback:
Even with many years of experience with .Net since its beginnings, I find that there’s always something new to learn even in a “getting started” course like this. Steve’s presentation is excellent, informative and adheres to the spirit of “getting started”. As we all know there’s always room for improvement. I did notice that in a few places the pace seemed accelerated and harder to follow, keeping in-mind the target audience and topic of this course. Yes, the video can be paused and scrubbed back in timeline, but following-along live could be made more of a challenge. A minor thing; food-for-thought. Otherwise, an excellent course!
