Amusing. I looked at a job in that very city just recently. And increased my rate substantially because of the downsides after investigating it (including size.) You might want to think about whether you want to be there in 30 years or not. If not then easier to move now than in 30 years.

The .NET Framework has a lot of classes and which ones you need to know depends a bit on what you want to do, but here are a few ones I'd recommend knowing regardless of what field you want to specialize in: The classes in the System.Collections.Generics[^] namespace are used often - especially List<T> and Dictionary<TKey, TValue>. The classes in the System.IO namespace[^] to work with the file system. The quick brown ProgramFOX jumps right over the Lazy<Dog>.

I too was phased by MS's previous visions for trying to create ubiquitous platforms but I can't fail them for not getting it right first time. Just look at Java which never seems to die :D But I think MS is on the right track with UWP considering it is core to the entire Windows 10 platform, that includes desktop, tablet, mobile (hmm), HoloLens, IoT and now Xbox. No other technology has such a reach unless you count C#/Mono. With the mess with Android, sooo many versions, devices variants and even apple can't keep it's desktop / mobile frameworks in line (however they do seem to be making strides now). These days, I create my core "program" / "library" for a project truly universal in a shared / pcl / netcore project and then consume that from any project, whether it's UWP, Android or iOS (or anything else). The thing that UWP really gives me is I only need ONE solution to target all their platforms without nasty #IF statements everywhere. One binary that runs on ALL Windows 10 devices. Simples. For other platforms (even using Xamarin) I have to plan for so many variants, so I simply limit the scope to make it easier, I don't have to do that with UWP as it "just works". My two pence anyway.

SharePoint is the software from Microsoft and this will live very long live, now this is part of Office365 and there are a lot of companies who has on-prem SharePoint =)

I'd agree with that. I've been using .net long enough now to get around most problems in pretty much any libraries Nuget or not. Which I supposed goes to show that what ever route you take (as you say) pick and established technology

They should have put a "Wrong Way" sign, instead. :-D If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

The great dumbing down of America and it's working! New version: WinHeist Version 2.2.2 Beta I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!

Lol, I've learned not to hate it as much. The syntactical sugar in ES6 and TypeScript make things a little better. Currently, I'm using Ionic. i cri evry tiem

I kid you not! :-D Search Apple's tutorials and framework documentation. There's a tab at the top of every code example that gives you the option to view it as Objective-C or Swift. I was amazed! Okay, maybe not all the old documentation, but most of what's new or updated.

Today is the day. Best of luck in this. And, yes, of no cable avail to show, while it is important to that of the "adaptation" within the current environment, do also learn of how to come as fully prepared as possible. However, of the "presentation" anomaly being a "factor", that's not what interests judges, being one myself in such this type of competition. "Does it run/work on the intended system?" is the first thing to answer. It seems you proved that, and then proved all the other factors (running & completing the demo). That is "success". Certainly, winning is the next "level" of that success. Let us know the outcome! The best way to improve Windows is run it on a Mac.
