IAmTimCorey

IAmTimCorey is the channel of Tim Corey, who teaches software development. He says he aims to answer the questions beginners do not yet know to ask, and he deliberately makes long, thorough videos rather than quick ones.

Most videos teach C# and the .NET platform, covering everything from language features to deploying apps to the cloud. A separate numbered series answers questions about developer careers, such as specialising, job security and dealing with new ideas from clients. He also sells paid courses, but the free lessons on the channel stand on their own. He also explains the reasons behind good habits, such as writing code that other people can read and maintain.

Some highlights include:

A long overview of the C# skills that matter most for developers right now.

An explanation of garbage collection in C#, showing how memory is managed for you behind the scenes.

A walkthrough of setting up and deploying a website to a free Azure hosting service.

The channel has over 440,000 subscribers.

C# is widely used in business software, games and the Unity engine. This channel goes deeper than most beginner tutorials, so it suits students who already know some programming and want to see how professionals think. The career videos are a useful, grounded look at life as a software engineer, including the changes AI is bringing.
