I founded MajorGuidanceSolutions in 2009 as a web portal for online education, training, and consulting. I made MGS an official LLC in October of 2021. MGS exists to provide high-quality, affordable training for people wanting to learn to be a developer. Currently, most of my training videos can be found on Udemy or on my own site at [https://training.majorguidancesolutions.com].Over the past few years, I've authored a book on Entity Framework in 2020 which was then updated with the 2nd edition in November, 2021 to coincide with the release of the .Net Core 6 and EFCore6 frameworks. I followed that up with a third book released in May 2023 for the Azure AZ-204 Exam, also from APress.Currently, I am working as a subcontracted instructor for transitioning military through Opsgility and Microsoft for the MSSA Cloud Application Developer program. I typically teach one cohort a year.For the bulk of the year, I subcontract to help clients to do custom Azure consulting where I help to modernize applications, create network and application architectures, and deploy networking and application infrastructure via automated pipelines using infrastructure as code (ARM/Bicep & Terraform).Additional services provided include training custom GIT courses and official Microsoft courses (mostly around AZ900/104/204/305/400), coaching and facilitating workshops and other training initiatives such as Open Hacks or conference workshops with an occasional private client workshop, custom development of curriculum, speaking at conferences or events, and authoring training videos, books, blog posts, and GitHub training repositories [https://github.com/azurecloudworkshops].
