Planned beginner .NET tutorials; A/B testing course launch.
Today I'll start actually writing the new tutorials. I was thinking about what to build first and came to a conclusion that it would probably be worth setting up a simple tutorial for beginners.
I started PROOMPTING Cursor to create the tutorials with the wanted layout but soon figured out that won't work. It's just too much at once.
Switching to Chat gippitty, I took a slower route and now I'm getting some serious suggestions. I'm not gonna copy/paste the whole conversation, but this is what it came up with:
- Getting Started with .NET
- Building a Simple Calculator
- Building a To-Do List Console App
- Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming in .NET
- Working with Data in .NET
I quite like this as a beginner introduction. The first one would probably fit into a single chapter, so that's what I'll be making first.
Actually, do I even need to build the chapter 1? Would a simple button for each available tutorial suffice? I think I've got a plan.
I'll think of the intermediate steps tommorrow and try and build out a whole course layout. After that, I'll deploy this list of courses and track clicks on them. When clicked, they will simply display a popup saying they're coming soon. That way I'll decide even faster which ones to build. Each week, I'll pick the ones with the most clicks and develop the first chapter. If people start finishing the first chapter I'll develop the rest.
I think this will give me an obvious signal if some of these are really good or completely worthless.
