This article announces the launch of a new course called Building Background Services in .NET with HangFire. The course aims to teach how to create and manage background jobs using HangFire, a powerful open-source library that can help improve the performance and scalability of .NET applications. The course covers fundamental concepts of background jobs, setting up and configuring HangFire, creating and managing background jobs using the HangFire dashboard, scheduling recurring jobs, handling errors, and scaling background services.

In preparation for my latest talk on Tactics for Building Background Services in .NET, I've been working on a sample project to demonstrate the concepts. It's amazing how much easier it is to build Window Services today than it used to be!

Thanks for attending 21st Century Background Services!
