A proposito di Chris Vanderplank
Hey, I’m Chris 👋
Full-stack developer, tech enthusiast, and the guy behind Intrepid Developer.
I’ve been building .Net apps for over 15 years, primarily in the Microsoft ecosystem with .NET, Blazor, Azure, PowerShell, and Bicep. By day, I’m a Lead Developer working on decarbonising commutes through smart tech. By night (or early mornings!), I’m blogging, coding, and creating content to help others grow in their development journey.
Intrepid Developer is my passion project. It’s where I share tutorials, tips, and hands-on insights from my real-world experience, plus a newsletter and a YouTube channel in the works! My goal? To build a helpful, honest, and inspiring community around software development while keeping a healthy balance as a partner and dad of two amazing boys.
If you’ve found my content useful, enjoyed something I’ve shared, or just want to support this journey, buying me a coffee helps keep the lights on (and the code flowing). Every little bit goes toward hosting, gear, and carving out time to keep creating, and maybe one day making this a full-time gig.
Thanks for stopping by. Let’s build something awesome together. 💻🚀

I’ve just published a new deep-dive on a topic that impacts almost every application we build: SQL fundamentals . Whether you write backend APIs, front-end UI, or full-stack features, understanding how data is stored, queried, and structured can dramatically improve how you design and debug software. In this post, I walk through the essentials, from reading common SQL queries to understanding jo...

I also cover common use cases and why it...
