Thanks a lot! I never understood very well how mapper worked on background so I hated everytime when I heard it, now thanks to ur explanations I love it!

21:10 - I like the way you structured the project folder - Models\Dtos

There are several threads on question what the differences between Dtos and Models

Dtos are model but not all models are dtps

Hi Mohamad, thank you for your video. Quick question if you please, is there a reason why in the DTO profile class you mapped each property instead of ignoring the ones you dont want to map ? I was looking for a video to understand more when to use the ignore option in the DTOprofile class, and I came across your video and noticed the way you did is different than what I'm used to, any explanation will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again

[manarmaher]

Hi Mohamed, could you please talk about CQRS in details?

[murtazotoshniyozov]

Good day Sir. Do you use MacBook for .NET Development? If yes, how would you describe your experience with MacBook. Some people say it is not comfortable with it while others say opposite one.

Hi Mohamed, thanks for the great content. But can please also demo the DriverForUpdateDto. I’m having an issue with my [HttpGet] method is throwing an exception but firstly it was coming with an empty form to update.

As people typically use sql server instead of dummy data, why don't you talk about ProjectTo, defered execution, and sql query optimization, instead of Map?
