Hello i would suggest you to choose . NET Core instead of old asp.webforms. C# is right choice. .Net Core is latest and it will be future, when new technologies comes companies will start upgrading, they stop older using of versions and job opportunities will be more always for new technologies or versions go through below article well explained by Mahesh Chand. https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/future-of-dot-net/

Based on your question, I do understand that you wanted to become a junior software developer whose focus in web development and you have basic knowledge of ASP.NET Web-forms, c#. In my opinion, it is a good start because it introduces you into a couple of technologies. Moreover; these technologies you’re current learning is transferrable but with small differences but depending on the subject. Now, that presently you have a starting ground. I do suggest learning the following: HTML5, CSS, JavaScript/ES6, React, .NET Core, Azure. Thus, by learning this you can stay/more competitive as you have been. Don’t forget to always focus on learning the basics. Thanks. Cheers, Jin

This is a great start. I would suggest you look into the latest technologies in each area of development using Microsoft tools. A brief example is below: 1. Web Applications (.NET Core MVC) 2. Desktop Applications (.NET Core WPF and MVVM) 3. Services (.NET Core Web API and WCF) 4. Relational databases (MS SQL Server and Entity Framework Core) 5. Non-relational databases (MongoDB and Cosmos DB) 6. Cloud development (Microsoft Azure) 7. Mobile development (Xamain) Take each one by one. Start with one category, read some material or do some course, practice and when comfortable move onto the next category. This will give you a very strong foundation.
