About Us

Every tutorial here is complete and free — full setup, full code, no paywall. Visual Studio Learn is reader-supported through views, search traffic, and occasional clearly-disclosed affiliate links to tools actually used in the tutorials — never through charging for the knowledge itself.

About — Visual Studio Learn

Visual Studio Learn is the personal tech blog of Sajjad Ashraf, a Senior Software Engineer at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, with over a decade of experience across .NET, Java, Python/FastAPI, and cloud platforms (Azure, OCI).

The blog started in 2011 as a student's tutorial notebook. It is being revived with original, up-to-date articles — modern .NET, Python and FastAPI, SQL, and Azure — each paired where useful with a video on the author's YouTube channel (@VisualStudioLearn).

Everything here is written for learning purposes. Code samples are provided as-is; test them in your own environment before using them in production.
