What would be the learning plan for junior .Net Developer?

Eternal Sunshine

As a developer having experience of only 1 year in an MNC, What learning path would the experts suggests?

I am getting confused seeing all the materials available on the internet, Proper structured learning path is missing for all of them, I don't know which one should I learn first, .Net MVC or .Net Core or I should learn Web API, I am getting completely overwhelmed.

So it will be great if you can help me and many beginners like me to get a proper learning path, This can begin with straight C# learning, And please share the learning resources link if possible (i.e Udemy, MS Documentation or any other creator's content).

Hoping to get help from you all, thanks in advanced!

Accepted answer
the Roadmap should be

C# (OOps+Generics & Collection+strings)---->SQL----->ADO.NET----> Create a project in Console app to perform CRUD on any domain entity like student using ADO.NET -----> ASP.NET MVC-----> Entity Framework----->Create a project to perform Crud using ASP.NET MVC+Generics (Generic Repository) using EF ------> ASP.NET Core Razor---->ASP.NET Core MVC -----> ASP.NET Core API ----->Angular----->project using Angular +ASP.NET Core API----> Azure

Learning technique

step 1. why:- for example:- why am I using for loop and not while loop, why did I use switch case and not if-else ladder, why use ADO.NET and not EF, Why do I need Stored procedure, why do I need dependency injection?

step 2. Where:- for example:- where do we need to use interfaces over abstract classes? where do we prefer the Stored procedure over Linq queries etc?

step 3. badly stuck:- don't hesitate to ask questions on StackOverflow and here on Csharpcorner.

This is a very good question. Here are some of the things I would recommend:
1. Get better at what you do in your current project. BE CURIOUS. Pay close attention to the code you write and project you work on to learn, how things are designed, architected, and how your coding is different from an experienced developer. Pay close attention to minor details. Learn latest features of C#, .NET, and improvements and try to implement/recommend in existing project. If you're working on an ASP.NET project and you're assigned to create a new class or string formatting, think about how its done in latest version.
2. Ask questions - If you don't understand anything, try to understand. Start with WHY?
3. When reading a documentation or online sample, try to find authors who are professionals. For example, if you are looking at code on Microsoft Docs, see how official code is written compare to yours.
4. Learn latest tools and features - For example, many people dont know or use many Visual Studio productivity features.
5. After that, you can learn new things such as .NET Core/.NET 5.0. Blazor also falls in same category.

Try to stay close to what you do at work so you can put your learning into real projects.

Hope it helps!
