Hi @jonahandersson! Did you see #55 ? @kzhen indicated that he wanted to translate the existing DF Typescript lesson to .NET Core.

I do prefer to keep the learning curve low for students. So I'd rather not introduce many new services or APIs as part of a regular lesson. If you do want to take a more advanced route, I'm open to creating another Durable Functions Challenge with you, as can bee seen in this repo: https://github.com/marcduiker/durable-functions-use-cases. This needs to be as close to a real-life use case as possible.

I definitely want your help! 😊 So please choose between a 'use case/challenge type' lesson as described above, or you can start with a new (basic) fan-out/fan-in lesson the next pattern.

Hi @jonahandersson! If you're still up for it, free to translate the existing Durable Functions TypeScript lesson to .NET Core 😊. There are some tips in the contribution guide and let's have a quick call about this in the upcoming week as well.

Any news on this? If not, could I get the ownership?

Good question @Krusty93 😅 .

@jonahandersson do you still intend to work on this soon or shall I assign this to @Krusty93?

[jonahandersson]

@Krusty93 Thanks for follow up. This is not completed. Please take over and continue. Informed @marcduiker 😊

[marcduiker]

@Krusty93 this is assigned to you now 😊

Please ensure that the .NET Core lesson uses the exact same structure and exercises as our TypeScript lesson: https://github.com/marcduiker/azure-functions-university/blob/main/lessons/typescript/durable-functions/chaining/README.md

You can place the lesson markdown (and images) in: lessons\dotnetcore31\durable-functions\chaining\.

The source code (one csproj file with seperate folders for the exercises) can be placed in src\dotnetcore31\AzureFunctions.Durable.Chaining (so AzureFunctions.Durable.Chaining is the csproj name).

There's more info in the contributing doc. I suggest you fork this repo and create a draft PR early in the process so you can ask for feedback, OK? I'm happy to help you with this! 😊

[Krusty93]

@marcduiker Ok cool, I'll back to you in a while 😊

[Krusty93]

Hello @marcduiker, I created a draft PR #252 with some initial work as you suggested. Thanks for any feedback!
