The Mixed Reality Forums here are no longer being used or maintained.
There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.
The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.
For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.
If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.
And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.
MS Academy Astronaut Tutorials

I have been following these tutorials for a little while now, and despite my paying attention to every line of code, I still feel this kinda copy&paste tutorial is not helping me much.
Of course I am going to go through all of them as foundational knowledge, but I wonder if someone could please recommend something as the "next" step in learning HoloLens dev. Something systematic that goes through all those topics.

Thanks @Jesse_McCulloch ! @hmiri there's a lot of great tutorials and such online as well. I definitely agree with Jesse that the HoloDevelopers Slack is a great place to get rapid-fire feedback and guidance on next steps. I highly recommend going through the HoloToolkit examples/tests also.
