"This is the most in-depth course on .NET quality that I have ever seen. Stefan explains, really in depth, how .editorconfig, props files and static code analysis work and how to set them up from scratch. I highly recommend it - it will increase your code quality, cut review time, and reduce bugs."
Messy code doesn't just look bad. It silently kills your team's velocity.
- β "Please format this." - on every single PR
- β Endless nitpicking instead of real code review
- β Styling conflicts instead of merge conflicts
- β Warnings in one project, silence in another
- β No one knows which style rules are "correct" anymore
You don't need more discipline.
You need a system that enforces itself.

What developers are saying
Specific feedback from engineers who already had opinions about code quality before they bought this.
Hands down the best structured explanation of how to set up a new .NET project for long-term success (years of development!). Every .NET developer should know this, and this course explains it all., -
Milan JovanoviΔI have been working with static weather analysis for many years. .editorconfig, props files and static code analysis packages are my daily tools. Stefan explains, really in depth, how these things work and how you can set them up from scratch. This is the most in-depth course on .NET quality that I have ever seen. I can highly recommend this course for .NET developers, as it will increase your code quality, cut your code review time, and reduce the number of bugs. A trick for adding a pre-commit hook in Git is something I learnt myself from this course., When watching this course, pause and set up the exact configuration for your projects. The best way to learn is by practicing of what you have just watched.
Anton MartyniukI really enjoyed the chapters on EditorConfig and automating code cleanup. From my experience, code style inconsistencies often become a problem in team projects, but this course provides a clear and practical way to solve that. The step-by-step explanation of creating and configuring the .editorconfig file made the concept easy to understand. I also found the sections on Visual Studio cleanup profiles and Git pre-commit hooks especially useful because they show how to automate formatting and maintain standards without relying on manual checks., My tip for new students would be to follow the course hands-on instead of just watching the videos. Try implementing the .editorconfig, code cleanup profiles, and Git hooks in your own project while learning.
kanaiya KatarmalGreat course, for every user, even if you are starting to code. You can get a clear view of code rules. Practice with simple codes to check the desire results., Great course, for every user, even if you are starting to code. You can get a clear view of code rules.

This isn't theory - it's how I ship production code.
Hi, I'm Stefan ΔokiΔ - Microsoft MVP, Senior Software Engineer, and creator of TheCodeMan.net.
For more than 10 years I've been building large-scale .NET solutions where consistency, clarity, and automation aren't optional - they're the only way teams ship fast and reliably.
Everything in this course comes from real production experience. These are the exact files and configs I use every day - not theory, not "ideal world" scenarios.
Lock in the lowest price it will ever be.

Frequently asked questions
What platform is the course hosted on?+
The course is hosted on Skool, a modern platform that combines video lessons, community, and discussions in one place.
Is there a community included?+
Yes. You get access to a private Skool community where we discuss code rules, share setups, and ask questions. Community access is completely free and included.
Who is this course for?+
.NET developers who want clean, consistent, automated code. Great for individual developers, teams maintaining long-lived projects, and tech leads running code-quality initiatives.
What knowledge level do I need?+
You should be comfortable with C# and basic .NET projects. The content is practical for beginner+ and intermediate developers, and still very useful for seniors and team leads who want a system to roll out.
Can I use this with .NET 6/7/8/9?+
Yes. EditorConfig, analyzers, and dotnet format are part of the .NET SDK - not tied to a specific version. Everything is forward-compatible.
Do I get lifetime access?+
Yes. Lifetime access to all lessons and every future update. No subscription, no renewal.
Will the price increase later?+
Yes. The presale is 50% off the planned launch price ($149). When the course officially launches, the price goes up permanently.
Is there a refund policy?+
Pre-orders are refundable up until the official course release. If you feel it's not for you, just reach out before launch.
What if I already have an .editorconfig?+
Even better. The course shows you how to audit, improve, and enforce your existing setup - turning a basic config into a complete automated system.
Your codebase, clean - without relying on humans.
