❔ Becoming An ASP.NET Developer
I spent a good amount of time learning programming and C# last year and I'm currently at the early stages of learning ASP.NET where I can only make very simple mvc projects (ex: crud projects) and have a shallow understanding of how it all works (http requests, pipeline, webdev basic concepts, ef, ect).
My goal is to become ready to start sending out resume's as a .NET or ASP.NET developer by this summer.
With that in mind what are your thoughts on me just focusing mostly on learning about building API's to link with other project types (like winforms/wpf/maui/unity) and not worry much about mvc or websites?

so your question is: asp.net or .net desktop or gaming?
I don't know the answer to that, only you do. Do what you like, there is a market for everything
since you have the ability to choose what you want to do for the foreseeable future, guess choose something you really like
don't go where the money is, if you don't like it
so the question is: what do you really like?
avoiding websites/mvc/ect just focus on making api's that can be used anywhere and using them on other projects not website related
Imho, web APIs would be the primary thing to learn, mostly because most modern websites are written with JavaScript Frameworks+ a backend.
Adding on MVC or something later won't be that hard, as it's just another layer on top of what you already know at that point, really
Looks like nothing has happened here. I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
