Hi I m coming from almost same path .I also learned C# and I like more web developing as you.If you want to be a full stack or back end developer ASP.NET is really powerful and many sites start to have it.I recommend udemy which courses are real cheap and great .Check for complete web developers courses with high ranking.Also these courses have bootstrap as you really predicted like me that the future is in the web and especially mobile.

Advice in transitioning from freelance developer to have an agencyFirst you must calculate if your income will cover your spending like IRS ,office ,salaries,bills etc.If you think you can do it then we have a start.As people said above networking.Unfortunately you must be really social and connect with people if you want them to find you and hire you.You have to use facebook,twitter, phones,website etc to learn about what you do and start finding you.If you have that also, then you are going to do well.Finally ,if people start to find you and you make stuff for them your services must apply to their needs.Price ,service delivered,quality and the most important thing that makes you different from the competition is after sale support.One happy client will lead to another client ,one disappointed client will make you lose clients.

C# Applications and JobsI was using C# and loved it before xamarin was bought from microsoft, but I left it since I think everything goes web now and couldn't make multi platform apps so easily .Though if you want to built games C# shines with Unity and its multi platform easiness.You can be a full stack developer with C# as back end and learn some html/css and javascript for front end.I think asp.net pages are really strong and some of our biggest sites in my country are built with it.In programming world unfortunately, you should be open minded and learn more than one thing to progress.If you have learned C# and you are in a good level in it, everything will be more simple for you, so don't worry.Also I agree with the above replies that we almost have an app for everything.

As a developer, should I know...If you are a web developer I think you should know some basics about how servers work, how you can see error log files,what an error means and how to make settings for your domain .I'm talking with some fellow web developers that don't know stuff like that and they are having a lot of problems deploying a site or when they get an error and their site drops.If you are not a web developer I haven't heard anyone from my circle know such stuff and why you have to.

Legacy ProjectsYou remembered me back old days when a .NET version changed and I was getting so many assembly errors in Visual Studio that was really annoying. I love Microsoft and backwards compatibility in all their products. :) :) :)

programmingIf you want to make a game I would recommend C# language with the Unity engine which are easy and very strong.Imagine some of the best selling games are made with this combo.For an android application I would recommend java which is very similar to C# .

Microsoft edge stood against hijacked settings.I installed daemon tools and it gave chrome and mozilla a lot of malicious software.I removed them but since I needed some things to do with internet I used microsoft edge which was safe for that time and fast.Sometimes I m thinking it s better to use something that not many people use to do your job.

VS2015 (all editions, including Community) to include full-blown Xamarin for FREEGreat move from microsoft.At last they start to understand that it's not everything about windows .Especially for mobile.

Visual Studio 2015I agree .I had terrible problems with visual studio 2015 and a lot of compatibility issues.I had projects in VS 2010 and VS 2012 and I was getting so many errors cause of compatibility.I think VS 2012 is the most mature.

How to copy and replace folder in desktop with C#/Winforms?System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException
{"Could not find a part of the path 'd:\\test\\130123094607-kevin-durant-dunk-lamar-odom-012313.1200x672.jpg'."}
This happens when we have for example to copy c:\test to d:\test and the d:\ doesn't have the folder.If I create the folder manually the error disappears but the thing is I want the folder to be created if it doesn't exist and if it does exist to overwrite every file in it. Thank you again for your time.

How to copy and replace folder in desktop with C#/Winforms?The problem is that either I can create a new empty folder or if the folder already exists it replaces the files .If the folder doesn't exist I get an error a bug or something which crashes.

How to copy and replace folder in desktop with C#/Winforms?Let's say I have a directory c:\test with some files in it.I want this directory to be copied in desktop with every file in it.If it exists I want to replace it with the new files .I m making a program so I can have backup of my projects easily and not copying pasting with windows clicks all the time . This is the whole code which creates a folder in desktop Downloads\Downloads and also some files are copies to desktop\Downloads and some others to desktop\Downloads\Downloads.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;//We need this namespace to be used so we can have the file class
//that gives us the ability to copy,delte files etc.namespace EasyCopyFiles
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{string desktop = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop); public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void button1\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(SourceOneToCopyBox.Text))//SourceOneToCopy //textbox we read from user input exammple c:\\test { //OutputDirectory1 also a text box we read from user example d:\\test File.Copy(file, Path.Combine(OutputDirectory1.Text, Path.GetFileName(file)), true); if (YesRadioButton.Checked == true) { desktop += "\\\\Downloads";//With the \\\\ we create the path we want if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(desktop)) { DirectoryInfo directory = Directory.CreateDirectory(desktop); } File.Copy(file, Path.Combine(desktop, Path.GetFileName(file)), true); } } } }
}
Thank you again I m so close to it.Thank you a lot.
