I always loved C# language and used it because it was so clear and developed. And windows desktop based software always felt so robust and a real program.

But all the trends are web/cloud field for the last 5 years. And even though they never felt like a real software to me, and I know basics, I want to play with it and develop some example projects. I know these kind of web based apps or sites have it's own great advantages...

So I will try to focus on these tech stacks for the next few months:

HTML, CSS, JavaScript and it's libraries: ReactJS, NodeJS and ExpressJS. As for SQL: probably MySQL. Then additional a few techs too...

This journey will be so fast since I know basics and with AI also.
 
What are your thoughts on JavaScript? i want to try!
The reason why I always tried to run out of web development was: JavaScript already. For some reason, I could never like it. But in todays world, we have to love it!

That sounds like a solid plan. Leveraging your C# experience will help, and focusing on HTML, CSS, JavaScript with React, Node, and Express plus MySQL will give you a strong web/cloud foundation. Using AI tools can definitely speed up learning and project development.
 
C# and ruby on rails is my favorite but for simple things i will go with python
 
My fav stack is Django with Python because it’s fast to build with, comes with everything I need out of the box, and keeps projects clean, secure, and scalable. All my sites are built in Django. They’re very fast, easy to manage, and thanks to Python, I can add almost any feature I want.
 
I have many years of experience with Java, I still use it now. But besides that I also use javascript, and python, maybe that is the trend we need to grasp.
 
Personally, I'm really into JavaScript right now, lots of ReactJS, NodeJS, PostgreSQL, but sometimes I dabble in a little bit of everything. For the backend, I ALWAYS prefer Python.
 
I was in the same situation i always loved C# and built desktop apps but had to move toward web/cloud too beside building desktop apps not abandon it. If you already know C#, I’d recommend starting with ASP.NET Core instead of jumping to Node/Express.
Best order:
  1. ASP Core MVC (natural step from desktop).
  2. ASP Core Web API (modern apps need APIs).
  3. ASP Core Razor Pages (quick/simple projects).
That way you build on your C# skills instead of starting from zero.

No. Too many goddamn scary details in ASP.NET Core tech. Tried to learn it for years but never ending... Just for web apps, and these many details? No thank you. Even tho I loved C#. So sad.

I hear you, man. ASP.NET Core does look scary when you see all the docs and options at once. But you don’t need to learn everything to start.
If you just take one small part at a time, it gets way easier:
  • Start with Razor Pages → it’s almost like Web Forms, very straightforward.
  • Then add a simple Web API → just a couple of endpoints to return JSON.
  • Later, if you need more, move into MVC for bigger projects.
You don’t have to master the whole framework in one go. Just build tiny apps (like a to-do list, notes app, or blog) and you’ll see it’s not as scary as it first looks.
ASP.NET Core looks like a monster, but when you break it down, it’s actually just small, repeatable patterns.
