I hope you’ll find it useful.Windows Services Recently I came up with a need to create an application, which executes some tasks in the background based on file system’s events. “That’s easy”, one would say. “Build Windows Service app”, he would add.

A few days ago when I posted the information about creating a course Becoming a software developer amongst many positive comments I had received at least a few question why would I do something like this for free. In the video below (English subtitles are available) I do present my answer. And I would also like to write a few additional remarks about it.

Welcome to the first, or actually, the episode number 0 of my first online course ever named “Becoming a software developer”. o what is it all about? The goal is simple – I’ll be acting as a mentor to a friend of mine Patryk Huzarski, who would like to become a software developer.
