Recommendations for practice in .net

[Gameborn]

So, I know a bit of c# + XAML (created simple uwp apps) and c++ console applications. I just want to practice in something, learn something new. I'm looking to .net. Any recommendations where to start?

There are several online coding games. I'd like to play Coders strike back.

You program a bot to race trough a short track competing against another player's bot. There's a scoreboard where you can compete and doesn't require too much knowledge to get started. If you're not into competitive programming I recommend doing the Core CS tasks that HackerRank offers. It's fun and challenging https://www.hackerrank.com/domains/algorithms/warmup

If you're interested in web development, try ASP.NET Core.

If you're interested in functional programming, try F#.

If you're interested in mobile development, try Xamarin.

If you're interested in game development, try Unity.

 

If you're looking for project ideas, look here and here.

 

Awesome .NET! and  Awesome .NET Core provides you with a large list of libraries, tools, etc for .NET which you may find useful.

 

Pluralsight is one place where you can learn a lot of this stuff. The free Visual Studio Dev Essentials program includes a few free months to Pluralsight.

 

If you're interested in Computer Science, check out OSS University.

 

I'm sure you can find something that interests you out of all that.
