Wow! Dude cool!

This looks promising. That arachnoid ending in the trailer is awesome!

Too many super-heroes and the (lawful good) hero vs. (chaotic good) hero has been played before (AFAIK)
I'd rather be phishing!

Yup. We need more buddy movies and romantic comedies. Those have never been done before.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

That's not an excuse for not being imaginative.
In my mind, I would, at least, have movies for each Avenger without bringing out all of the other super-heroes; flesh out each individual story
And have an Avengers series with all of them (like we have right now).
as a side note.
Every Sunday morning, there's a Chick-flick on the TV, and GF watch it; and when I come in the room, I always ask her if they (protagonists) have broken up already (they always break out and come back together at the end)!
I'd rather be phishing!

In the endless battle of protecting pages yourself vs using the inbuilt, intrusive and lacking the ability to handle real-world input page validation in ASP.NET, we were briefly on the mat but we're back.
I need a drink.

This sounds like a saga deserving of an HBO mini-series!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Ok, worked once I closed and opened a new browser tab.

On the plus side, that was the only 4 hour stretch of no spam that I can remember

Funnily enough that is exactly what I did during the down time.

Hello All,
I started writing code in the late 90s using VB4. In 2000 I took VB6, SQL Server and a pretty good skill set to a previously DOS and flat file only company as their first Windows Programmer. What happened from there was both classic and stupid. I got comfortable and felt safe. We pumped out a lot of programs fast and dirty and updated, upgraded and converted a lot of customers. I was mostly a 1 man programming department trying to keep up with competitors who had full staffs. I quit developing new stuff, except for a few new features a year, and mostly did maintenance. As a company we kept putting of the "rewrite to new tech" in order to modify our existing software to work for that newest customer. It really became a cycle where I fell farther and farther behind the leading edge of our industry while I tried to keep the existing product modern enough to keep management and sales happy. In 2014 I took a big gamble and forced a stop to the cycle while I tried to catch up with tech and start development of a core product line that had a future. It cost me my job.
Sorry for the book, but I wanted to tell everyone that so you understand that, when I ask you this:
I am an application programmer at heart, and while I am behind the current tech, I am very good at what I do. I just can't seem to find the right resource or approach to finding my way back to the front of our field. There seems to be no clear starting point in the current jumble of interwoven platforms, libraries, methodologies, languages and what not. I tried moving to VB.NET and the first code review I asked for I was told that I was writing very good VB6 code in VB.NET. They were right, that was what it was.
I think I want to move to C#, if for no other reason than to help break old habits. Can someone point me in the right direction? How do I get moving again?
Thanks.
Rem

Good books are always useful, this Useful Reference Books[^] link lists several. You can also download VS express 2015 Community Edition to start.

The express versions are dead. It's now VS 2015 Community Edition. It has all the features of the full version, and is free.
