Instructor:
Hi, I'm Kaushik Roy Chowdhury, a Microsoft Certified Professional with over 20 years of commercial experience in the .NET stack of products. I hold a master's degree in computer science from Auckland University of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand and have worked for multinational companies such as Sungard and Trimble Navigation. My passion lies in software education, and I've extensively taught programming languages like C#, Java, and C in tertiary institutions in New Zealand.

Finally, here are some of my earlier reviews from courses on Udemy: •

"Kaushik's courses are my main reference for anything C# - I find his explanations full of detail which helps to solidify a full understanding of even the most complex aspects of C# programming." - Martin Catherall (Microsoft MVP) - Master Collection Classes in C# Using Visual Studio •

"An elaborate and detailed description for a beginner. The author has put a lot of effort into structuring the content. Certainly proved useful to me as a starter." - Sudeep Ghatak (ASP.NET Core 3 with MVC and MongoDB) •

"Great material. Learned a lot." - John Taylor (Master Collection Classes in C# Using Visual Studio) •

"Well explained in detail." - Fred Handal (Build and Learn ASP.NET Core 3.1 Blazor Hands-On •

"It's a nice introduction into Blazor server side where you got a good understanding of Blazor fundamentals" - Seb Lowe (Build and Learn ASP.NET Core 3.1 Blazor Hands-On) •

"One of the best Blazor course" - Mohamed Cisse (Build and Learn ASP.NET Core 3.1 Blazor Hands-On) •

"If you're like me and were struggling to setup/use Apigee X because the Google docs were lacking the depth to understand the step you were taking and what to do next, this course is for you! Great beginner Apigee X course, I'm really looking forward to the Intermediate/Advanced course to come" -
