So Wes do you think knowing Python has helped solidify your knowledge of other languages as well say C#/ .Net ?

[@WesDoyle]

Hey, for sure. Learning any language helps build some context for any other. There are, of course, major differences between Python and C#, but spending time in more than one language and community certainly helps develop a greater overall understanding of software development.

[@bigbeeforever]

It's good to know, as I have been pretty focused on the one and a friend mentioned after focusing on javascript it helped him understand some functionality/ structures and algorithms for c#

[@DanielTames]

Thank you very much man!
I really appreciate your content ❤❤

[@2005Azm]

Thank you Wes!

[@WesDoyle]

For sure! All the best!

Hello Wes, glad I've discovered your channel as it is the only one I know with great .NET and Python videos.
My first language was Python, but my first full-time job was in C#. In my current job I work using both because there's a huge legacy .NET Framework platform and new stuff using Flask microservices.
I see myself as a mid level developer and I think I should focus more in one path at the moment to become a senior, as it is not just the language, but an entire ecossystem to master .
There are plenty of jobs for both, so that's not really a concern and I know there are multiple personal takes on this, but if this was your case what would you suggest?
Maybe if you could do a video about this saying your pros and cons about both would be great.

Great Python crash course by a great instructor.

[@WesDoyle]

Thanks 😊

[@vsuperbhat]

Thank you Wes for the course. Can you share link to the sample files you mention at around 2:37:09 ?

[@vietstonedotdev]

Hi, what theme are you using?

[@JK-kk4uv]

Unfortunately, the video only works in 360 resolution.

[@WesDoyle]

Oof, thanks for the heads up! I'll see what I can do!

[@grzegorzszrt9930]

It’s off the topic. Do you think its worth learning Django?

[@WesDoyle]

I’ve enjoyed using Django in the past! If Python is your primary language and you’re getting into web development, then Django or Flask are good options.

[@bigbeeforever]

Wahoo first view ...

[@WesDoyle]

Hey! :) good to hear from you.

[@bigbeeforever]

Currently going over the old Library project you did, but I am applying a .Net 6 approach. Figuring out connections strings to my db

[@WesDoyle]

@@bigbeeforever Nice! I've started a complete re-write of that project in .NET 6 also, and have started planning videos for that to be released in about 2 weeks. Would love to see what you've come up with, too!

[@jimmydavila7196]

@@WesDoyle Can't wait for those videos. Thank you Wes.
