Programming Questions
#4
Yes although it may seem boring, it is what I do on a daily basis.
We build custom apps that the business people use to do their jobs.

So try to build something real. Something that takes input, stores data, retrieves the data, operates on it and stores it again/outputs to the screen etc.

Make sure you know how to securely log the user in, present forms with validation and required fields, enforce business rules, and store the data correctly in the database.

In C# you have web and winforms, so learn both but realize that if you interview for a job, it will be one or the other so know what they will be asking you going in.

The XNA stuff is great fun and you will learn a lot by building some sample apps and demos but not many development jobs for XNA exist so if you want to get paid, be realistic.

I personally went through a bunch of the tutorials I sent you and I really enjoyed them. It has been 3 years though so I am a little rusty.
