Public Accounts

In every industry, there are influential figures, and their help is crucial to our development. Since the open-sourcing of NetCore, a large number of leaders in the NetCore community have emerged, including MVPs for several years, architects from listed companies, and influential figures on Zhihu. Often, it is not that people do not work hard, but that they lack the right learning methods and guidance from experts. They are all excellent accounts I follow, which I'm sharing with everyone to help you navigate your learning journey more smoothly~ Enhancing skills and broadening thinking~

Whuanle is lurking in various .NET leaders’ groups, quietly paying attention to their public accounts, secretly absorbing energy.

I will compile the introductions and QR code images of the collected public accounts, which you can view here:
