They're excellent courses, indeed, and I hope to see more of them in the future.

This really is an awesome resource for anyone looking to get off the ground.
Looking forward to more new beginner series. Hopefully, next will be F#.
Design fundamentals could be interesting.
awesome
@Ian2: When you say "design" do you mean "graphic design" or (hopefully) something more developer centric like "enterprise application design" or "design patterns" or "object oriented analysis and design". Unfortunately, "design" is a VERY overloaded term.
I think he means design patterns Bob. That is something I need to get under my belt right about now. How about it Channel9, can you get Bob to do some design patterns for beginners. By the way I loved your C# fundamentals on LVS and on Channel9, I hope there will be a part 2 to this series for someone who is already a Junior developer. Keep up the good work.
Great Series all of them, congratulations Bob! Very good job.
I have already seen JavaScript and C# Fundamentals, a suggestion, it would be interesting to have a Fundamental Series ASP.NET.
Keep up the good work!
This videos is not only for an absolute beginners but also a best fundamental road map for professional developers , indeed my hope is to increase this series by ASP.NET - SharePoint if there is and any new technology , Bob Tabor i have an honor to write to you an say thanks a lot you give people an awesome start to be professionals again thanks.
I have watched most of your series in Channel9 and they are great. Keep up with the good job. I also agree that there should be a video series on design patterns with examples of real situations.
Is there a specific order these should be viewed in or do they pretty much stand on their own?
You can view these in any order as they stand on their own.
@Jay Martinez: any order
Me gusta muchisimo vuestras aportaciones, suelo dar RT y compartirlas de forma publica en FACEBOOK, Thankyou very muchisimoooo!!!
Please make an absolute beginners for LINQ || WPF && || MVVM || TSF .. awesome videos Bob!
you should also make a series for mysql or sql you do a great job explaining the steps and a great job explaining what each step accomplish
Thisis not only amazing it is so well explained.
BOB TABOR.... even though I am an experienced programmer i think bob's way to explain the meaning of things is the best stated and commented. dont change your line you will do alot of good to wanna be programmer.
Congratulation BOB
will there or is there any intermediate series??
Great...
thank you
Bob, Please suggest me the best book for Asp.net ,WPF,Sharepoint,SilverLight and WCF.
Thank You..
Greatest content for beginner developers on the whole web, all linked in one page! Great!
@Jay Martinez: As Bob Tabor says in HTML5 and CSS3 series :"HTML5 and CSS3 are foundational topics that you are going to need to learn prior to learning popular web technologies like javascript and ASP.net" , So Javascript series depends on HTML5 and CSS3 series.
Bob,
I have just finished both the HTML5/CSS and the Javascript fundamental series. I am a developer with over 7 years of experience, and found the lessons to be a little slow starting. But, that being said I do not have much experience in these areas and overall found them a great resource to starting my transition into these areas. Thank you very much for putting the time into these videos. Keep up the great work!
Hi,
I have just completed HTML5 & CSS3 Fundamentals. I have to say this,"It was awesome!!".
I am looking forward for an intermediate series, if possible. Thank you very much for these and keep up the great work!!
Hi Bob,
Your videos are really better in means of teaching/explaining, than the Microsoft Guys.
It's a 200 % True.
Watched a few. Provides clearly the differences and the purposes of the technologies.
Great Work !!.
Waiting for any Design Patterns Series..
I took a programming fundamentals and basic level VB.NET course in college and I have already learned more from these videos than in class. Bob has a great way of teaching this stuff. I recommend this to anyone new or even experienced with programming.
Bob,
I swear you deserve every cent of my college tuition. 90% of my programming ability came from you and my learnvisualstudio and TrainingSpot subscriptions. I see many others above me have stated the same, which only strengthens my opinion of the absolute useless nature of colleges. Really burns me up.
As a beginning developer, I, and others I'm sure, are in desperate need of a beginner series for: WPF & XAML, MVC & Razor, Design Patterns, and OO Analysis & Design + UML
It's unfortunate that the college gets the $100k and you're left responsible for teaching us, but we're counting on you all the same. Will renew my LVS.net account as soon as fresh material is posted.
Thanks again Bob.
Why not add :

?
@JoshuaCampbell: That's a fantastic story ... yeah, I agree -- $100k would be helpful to me right about now.
But seriously, I'm glad these videos have helped!
@annaqeeb: Agreed ... I think it is in the works. Thanks for the reminder!
Hi, Your videos are really awesome.... Can you please post the videos for ASP.Net......
These are great! When can we look forward to seeing a Powershell series?
Thanks a lot sir.Its is very easy to understand.Because you have well explained the topics.once again i thank you a lot sir..
its really worthful...
super work
You should do a series on making Windows 8 apps using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8
@BobTabor: I have a suggestion for the video encoding . In order to make the mid quality videos more readable without increasing their file size, I really suggest not to down scale the resolution ; instead decrease the frame rate. This may make motion not so clear but the text will be crystal sharp.
In fact, I tried the available mid quality , and i felt that the text is sometimes not readable, and in other times it is barely readable. Currently I have to download the high quality to have a good view .
Greatly appreciated for all the useful fundamental!
Thanks Bob I am really appreciating your lessons, it makes my concept clear...Awesome
This is something I have been searching for. This is actually awesome. Bravo and continue the good works.
HI,
I just wanted to enquire as to how these video courses are costed? i.e. 3 free and then charged or are they entirely free for the purpose of learning and spreading knowledge in the realms of programming?
Many thanks!
@ControlF5: Hey there, no worries... all of Channel 9's content is free... no matter how many you watch!
Hi Bob, great videos
, I watched C# Fundamentals: Development for Absolute Beginners and it really helped me. From today I will be starting Windows Store apps for Absolute Beginners with C# . Your approach is very helpful.
Thanks ,
Mtan3
Excellent resource for beginners as well as recap for experienced devs.
Still I remember that Bob Tabor's videos were the first video tutorials available on www.asp.net when it was .Net 2.0.
It would help experienced developers when new version of C# is released with a quick video tutorial with new features in new version.
http:\\weblogs.asp.net/sukumarraju/default.aspx
I would love to see an ASP.net series!!
Bob, all the tutorial videos made by you are awesome.. Thanks
Hey Bob,
Try to make Fundamentals on SQL database.
Like to How to create database, Update, Modify etc...as well as how to connect with windows form.
Regards
Eigen
Hi Bob,
Thank you so much for the effort and guide to choose the right path. Specially to me,I'm just learning web developer perspective the tutorial video("HTML5 and CSS3 Fundamentals") it was a very helpful to me. Great Job!
PS. I hope your ASP.NET tutorial is free in the coming days =)
I think Bob Tabor did a great job with these videos. however, one comment I have about these video:
You made HTML5 & JavaScript fundamentals mainly for Windows 8 and they are great, but I missing Windows 8 Store Apps with HMTL5 & JavaScript. Are you going to make them?
@Michael Najar: Oh, you mean these?
Windows Store apps for Absolute Beginners with JavaScript
Thanks very very much.
Im now starting,,,
진심으로 감사합니다.
Awesome videos and great collections out here for free. Thanks a lot and really appreciate the hard work behind it.
I would love to see how to more examples on VB.NET and ASP.NET to create Windows8 store apps using Visual Studio 2012.
How to create installable/setup using VB.NET for desktop/laptop/tablets, create and deploy website from scratch for beginners.
How to create Win8 apps using VB.NET, C# for windows store.
How to connect to MS - TFS/MTM using VB.NET/C#/ASP.NET and create customize test execution, test case, incoming defect report, graphical (specially chopstick graphs) reports for same.
Thanks again!!!!
Have a nice day.
First I would like to thank you for taking the time to put together such a great series of learning's. They are by far some of the best! In addition to the content, your style of teaching, explaining the "why's" and great delivery style make it very enjoyable. Ok, enough buttering you up....lol....:)
As someone new getting into development, do you recommend a certain order for taking the above lessons in. I just don't want to start out taking one and then realize that I should have started on a different one because the learning's built off another one.
Thanks in advance!
I'm your die hard fan Bob! Your Awesome!! I would seriously worship you, If you come to India!! I sincerely Request you to do video Tutorial on Java or Object Oriented Programming as most of the Mobile applications we use today are made of java.. Thanks! :)
Hi Watermelon,
Their is an Functional programming Fundamentals series with Erik Meijer
It's a little bit advanced but a good source none the less.
http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C9-Lectures-Erik-Meijer-Functional-Programming-Fundamentals
@bob tabor when will you be publishing Windows Phone 8 for Absolute beginners series.
eagerly waiting for that......
I hope that there are other very long courses like the core c# (about 22 hrs) in other programming languages also.
hi bob,
please is there no series of asp.net like that of c-sharp you did on channel9?
Hi Bob,
Did you make any videos for VB for absolute beginners using Windows Form applications? I came across your tutorial after I had got used to other tutorials that used windows Form application. While yours is more detailed and simplified, but your use of console application rather than windows form posed a difficult challenge to my ability to comprehend properly.
Bob you make a reverence to downloading clips to retain good viewing but I cannot find any button to download/save clip to my hard drive. Could use your help.
Thanks
Rick
Awesome resource....Thanks
