What Students Say About Julio's Courses

Meet Your Instructor

My name is Julio Casal. I'm a passionate software engineer with a wealth of experience building all sorts of applications and systems based on the .NET platform.

Throughout my 10+ years working at Microsoft, I had the opportunity to work on real-world projects, building and refining backend services that handle millions of requests every month.

I believe reducing complex concepts into simple step by step instructions is incredibly valuable and helps to make coding accessible and fun for everyone.
