Hey Reader, If you’ve ever built a simple CRUD app with a layered architecture… you might be making things harder than they need to be. In my newest YouTube tutorial, I show you how to build a scalable CRUD app using something super clean and refreshing:
👉 Vertical Slice Architecture in .NET 9 We’ll build a full Video Game API, step-by-step, with:
No more bloated services or endless layers. With vertical slices, each feature lives in one place. Super organized. Super focused. Oh, and the source code is completely free to download. Just check the link in the video description. This has been one of my favorite architectural styles lately. If you’re curious how it compares to Clean Architecture or want a simpler setup for smaller apps, this is for you. Let me know what you think in the comments!

I usually just need a small part of it, the classic "send a request, get a response" pattern. So I thought: why not build a simple version myself? 👉 That’s...
Hey Reader, In my last video, I showed you how to build a CRUD app using Vertical Slice Architecture and controllers in .NET 9. But… What if you could do the same thing - cleaner, simpler, and without all that controller clutter? 👉 That’s exactly what I show you in my brand-new video: In this one, you’ll learn how to: Use Minimal APIs instead of controllers Keep your Program.cs neat and tidy Stay fully organized with the Vertical Slice Architecture Work with Carter, a super helpful library...
