Learn how to use the JetBrains Rider IDE from beginning to mastery
Since its initial release, JetBrains Rider has become the go-to Integrated development environment or IDE, for hundreds of thousands of .NET developers, including Dometrain's founder, Nick Chapsas. It combines impressive performance and many power features previously seen on ReSharper, making it an excellent IDE for .NET developers. Not only that, but it is the only .NET IDE that is truly cross-platform for both Windows, Linux and Mac. In this course, Dan Clarke, one of the early adopters of Rider, will teach you everything you need to know to master this IDE.
