Another great course by Paul Chin. No doubt will this knowledge come in handy sooner or later. At work, I often deal with small .NET programs provided by 3rd-parties; they don't use obfuscation which means that with dnSpy I can simply look under the hood and (if needed) help indicate the faulty code.
