Did they have an axe to grind? Because I use a coffee grinder.

I've been searching for a good value on a NUC and this one looks great[^].
Very similar to the desktop i'm running right now.
16GB RAM
AMD R7 4700
500GB m2 NVME SSD
Wifi & bluetooth
AMD Radeon graphics
Windows 11 Pro
EDIT almost forgot it has 1Gb LAN port and two HDMI ports also. Wow!
Very fairly priced at $449 & is expandable on RAM & drive.
This is very comparable to my MicroCenter build -- of course it's a full desktop.
You don't see one in this form factor for this cheap very often.
Have any of you bought NUCs?

Did not buy any mini PC's, but I would be careful with the cheaper Beelink models like the Mini-S. I read some mixed reviews on the quality of those. This model might be fine however.

Good to know, thanks for the info.

I bought an Intel NUC a few years ago to use as a local MS Team Foundation server. It's still working, and doing its job.

I bought an Intel NUC for my wife last year, and it works perfectly. It's a Core-i5, has 16GB of memory and a 500GB NVME 'drive'. It's running Win 11 as it has a TPM module.
I've also recently bought two more of them as replacement systems for a retail operation for which I do tech support. In this case, they were both bare bones i7 systems, to which I added 16GB of memory and 500GB NVME drives. The fact that they're small enough to mount on the back of the monitor is a plus in that locale since space at retail counters is often limited. They both have TPMs but I've restricted them to Win 10 to match the other systems in the store.
My only complaint is that "bare bones" also means no power cable. The power brick is included, but not the AC cord to plug into the wall. Seems kind of stupid, and is a pain, but the customer has to pay so it's not too big an issue to me.

Very cool and a good application of NUCs.
And that is very odd that the power cable isn't included.

Just curious if anyone has see this
Learn ASP.NET Core and earn more money as a C# developer
I'm wondering if this would be a decent starting point to learn Asp.Net Core development

In my experience courses that offer the chance of making money are more interested in how much you pay to them. And there is no way they can guarantee that you will earn more after completing the course.
|
|
|
|
|
True, but I'm looking at the content they're listing. Is that a decent learning approach?
Or, what other path can I take to get started with web dev in ASP.Net Core?

If it sounds too good to be true (which it does to me) then it probably is. I would be tempted rather to spend time looking at CodeProject articles on the subject.

Ok, thanks

For me the best way to learn ASP.NET Core is Adam Freeman's definitive book, Pro ASP.NET Core 6: Develop Cloud-Ready Web Applications Using MVC, Blazor, and Razor Pages[^]
It's the 9th ed so it has been through a lot.
He is a master author and touches on the most important points and the book is a breeze to read.
Also, the book is up to date and covers .NET Core 6.
It has tutorial to work you thru and see real examples.
It's also probably quite a bit cheaper. Good luck.
|
|
|
|

Well it has EU in the name (TutorialsEU), so it must be ok.
(and I wont bother anyone with a silly link to Slant like: "What are the best resources to learn .NET?")

I would highly recommend this book for an entry point to .net core: "Murach ASP.NET Core MVC". Well structured, with working examples and a shallow learning curve approach. It's not written from some questionably experienced "professor" for his poor students. More like from programmers-to-programmers book.

Is the book about ASP.Net Core, or ASP.Net MVC?

For the most part - Core, but the two are quite interconnected. Also, some basic Entity Framework topics.

For my experience I know that some employers require the copies of certificate in order to give a position in project.
I've attended some course many years ago, however, they weren't online - so be aware, I think.

I have no doubts that one can learn something from this course and that Jannick is a great tutor but I wouldn't personally sign up for this course because of data transparency which I consider myself red flags.
1. If I am right, it doesn't say which version of ASP.NET Core (big red flag for me). I don't like it if such courses are not transparent. It would be a waste of time if it is e.g. ASP.NET Core 3.1 because there might be similar great courses which target ASP.NET Core 5, 6 and there were lots of changes since 3.1
2. What Angular version, there is now version 14
3. C# Developer Salary chart without and with ASP.NET - Source and year? I checked https://www.salary.com/research/salary/posting/csharp-programmer-salary and it says $108,875 for C# Programmer
4. He says C# devs that can show in-depth knowledge in ASP.NET earn up to 67% more money - Source?
5. Language "This course is absolutely unique and not comparable to any other programming course out there." Really?
I personally use https://www.pluralsight.com/[^] which is subscription based. I check the newest courses they have and then sign up for 1-3 months and repeat in another time again. I think they might have 1 week free, if you would like to try it.
