C# Developer, best learning route?

[Hardgrafter]

Thanks all. News that my boss may take on an mvvm contractor for a month or so & I can sit with them asking a million questions for 8 hours a day which I'm sure they'll love...

Will be beneficial for me though

I'm also going to take a MS certification course at my local college.

Won't be going anywhere for another year or so as I don't think I could match my salary anywhere else atm.

Thanks for all your help.

I think it's mainly because of the introverted techy stereotype, where most developers are more comfortable in front of an IDE than talking to someone.

Or maybe it's because they're busy working.

It's not that easy to teach someone how to code, well I suppose someone could teach but it would take lots of time. It's not like you can spend 5 minutes with someone every week and they're an expert after a couple of months.

I've had this conversation with previous employers. Yes I can document what I've done but no I can't teach him C and the solaris API, he's gonna have to do some background reading.

It's different if you're hired to train of course, and I've never minded sharing my expertise with someone who makes an effort to learn stuff by themselves. That can be quite rewarding as you watch them come on and generally after a while you end up with someone who can take some of the load off you.
