- [Instructor] The first release of this course was originally recorded before .NET Core 1.0 was officially released which means that the course is several years old and several more versions of the .NET Core framework and the Visual Studio IDE have been released since then. As of this recording, .NET Core 2.2 has been out for a few months and by the time you're watching this video, .NET Core 3.0 or even later will probably have already been released as well. But don't worry, we keep an eye on all these changes to make sure the course continues to stay as up to date and relevant as the first day it was released. That said, it's important to keep in mind that while some of the videos may be quite recent, there are many videos that are from the very first version of this course recorded with .NET Core 1.0 and Visual Studio 2015. And these videos haven't been recorded again because their content is still perfectly good. Luckily the fact that there's a mixture of old and new videos shouldn't really 'cause you any problems. It may mean, however, that you'll have to ignore a few things that might look slightly off here and there, for example, in early versions of the course, I created my own configuration file and I named it config.json but in .NET Core 2.2. this configuration file is now created for you and it's called appsettings.json. In .NET Core 1.0, only a few NuGet packages were included in the original template meaning that you may see me adding these packages manually in some videos, however, the .NET Core 2.2 template includes just about everything you need, so all you need to do is just import those namespaces, not the packages. Then the initial Startup.cs class contained a line that registered a console logger but in .NET Core 2.2, this line is gone and I didn't add it back. These are just a few examples of things to look for. There may be others but don't worry, as long as you follow the instructions that you see in here, everything you're about to learn will teach you how to write applications using .NET Core 2.2 or 3.0, Visual Studio 2017 or 2019 or whatever the latest version of the framework or IDE might be the time you watch this and if you do end up having any trouble, please leave a comment and let us know.
