When I hover over them, the cursor changes to the I-beam and I can only select text, clicking does nothing. All other links in that menu seem to work and I can access those particular boards from the side menu.

Most likely, I would lose my sanity

what?

Service wouldn't take me. Tried for about a year i cri evry tiem

I've always enjoyed programming. I started playing around with computers and later basic programming when I was around eleven or twelve and it kind of grew from there. When I got into highschool, I started to make friends with other people who were interested in it, and by my junior year of highschool, I along with a few friends started freelancing doing websites and webapps for local business and organizations. I had no college interests. I didn't want to spend four years being taught things I already knew / thought I could learn a lot faster. At the time, I also wanted to stay freelance forever. About a year after graduating, I realized the latter wasn't very practical. I got moved to South Carolina and knew no one (also a state with limited tech opportunities) I started to apply to entry-level / junior positions all over the country with no avail. I mistakenly though that my two years of freelance work would mean something. I ended up landing my current part-time remote contract after 3 months of job searching and 100's of applications. I thought going back to school would help my future prospects, and started at a local community college, but ended up hating it, and I don't think I want to continue next semester. It's looking like now, I might get an offer working for a state government agency, but I'm starting to doubt my career choice. I find it hard to learn anything anymore. I may start, but can't keep concentration and end up screwing off reading Reddit or something else. It's also hard to start a project without a real problem behind it. I also don't feel like it will be a very good career. The huge push for STEM education seems to do nothing but saturate the entry level and keep those senior level positions open. I'm sure that companies will catch on and when they find out that anyone can d this job with minimal training, wages will shoot down. I find myself questioning the last seven or so years of my life and wondering if I should look into switching careers. I'm only 19, so I fell it's still possible, but have no idea what else I would enjoy. Has anyone else experienced this sort of feeling, what did you do about it?

Actually, I'm excited for Razor Pages (a.k.a. Rebranded ASP.Net WebPages)

Sounds like a poor attempt to get people to write UWP apps.

Dear god :~

I'm learning C# and ASP.Net Core from JavaScript and Node.js. I notice that many classes like

IEnumerable

and

IDisposable

Are used a lot and seem like you should be familiar with them. What are some other classes and interfaces that pop up often in .Net programming I should be aware of?

Haha, I guess it doesn't matter I wouldn't get hired anyway ;P . I'm an 18 year old kid straight out of high school with little experience living in one of the worst states for the industry. I haven't touched code in 6 months because after graduating, I had no more projects to work on.

What are you using on the backend?

Wow, that ByteStuck site looks like the type of site I was looking for a few days ago ;P

Of course the people who advanced the PC market had the connections, money, marketing to do so.

I really want to make something.I'm bored, I have not touched any code for 6 months and as a bonus, it looks good to employers to have side projects (supposedly) The problem is, I can't find and commit to an idea. I want to make something practical. Sure, I could make a clone of something or make yet another boring todo list, but what's the point. Employers aren't going to care that you built a clone of (insert something here) that has 0 active users and just sits in a Github repo. I've also tried the whole "make something you would use" and wind up finding out someone has already done it and better than I could do it.

So I asked this question once a few months after Windows 10 was released, but now that it has matured a little I wonder what people's opinions are. I personally don't see any advantage to UWP. Windows Phone is dead, Hololens is kinda cool, but is expensive and despite what Microsoft wants you to think, there is probably o value in porting your apps to work with it. That leaves us left with targeting Xbone and PC. Hardly universal anymore, and to be honest, unless you are developing games (I'm not) Xbone is not a useful target. I'm sure there are a lot of PC users to target, but how many people actually use the store? I know I have 3 or 4 store apps and they are all games. It makes more sense just to use WinForms or WPF at this point. What do y'all think? Is there much point in targeting UWP for you apps?
