Freelancing in C# - what industry to go into?

Question

Freelance

I like C#. Really great language. I don't dislike Microsoft, I use Windows, so statements like: "Winda masday, learn Java" will not be taken into account.
And so, meanwhile I wrote only in the console. It's time to choose a direction. And I stalled. I plan to freelance, because I live in a small town, I don’t have any studios, I don’t plan to move. Unless in the same small town :) As far as I know, they don’t take juniks to the distance. And even without experience. Freelancing remains.
Who has freelancing experience in C #, tell me where to dig and which way to go. I will be grateful. Google prompts mostly posts from two years ago, maybe something has changed?

Answer 1

Xamarin + mobile.

Answer 2

Basically, the most profitable now (not only dotnet but in general) is web and mobile applications. In Toptal -e, for example, we often have a need for Xamarin and Unity
. If the life situation allows, work on experience. Take any projects for any money (even small ones). Try to give all your best at 100%, study everything that catches your eye. Instead of games / TV, etc. - read articles, books. There are all sorts of resources with training videos. Learning is now easy and cheap.

Answer 3

Only web development! A desktop application is rarely ordered by anyone, servers are even rarer.
And you need to find a studio that makes projects in ASP.NET. Befriend her, she will throw tasks in case of loading. There will be, practically, remote work. If you have the strength, you can work for several studios.

Answer 4

Alternatively, you can try to participate in the project on github.com (what would be something to show in the summary)
And then look here .

Answer 5

You should not count on Russian freelance exchanges, serious projects in C # very rarely come across there, mostly small things like laboratory and term papers. You can practice on them while learning either Asp.Net MVC for Web or WPF for mobile development. Then you can safely go to odesk and other foreign exchanges, there are quite a lot of orders for C #.

Answer 6

mobile phones: c#->xamarin

Answer 7

I have rarely seen freelance tasks in c#, but I have done a few, such as multi-threaded site parsers and a local database with sqlite and lucene.net. But in general, I think. that C# is not a very promising direction for freelancing.

Answer 8

Outsourcing (and even more so freelancing) in C # at a level below the middle is fantastic.
Only if you write something for mobile phones, but such skills are unlikely to be useful to you in the future.

Answer 9

C# is very popular in the environment for creating programs and algorithms for trading in the forex and stock markets, and Windows (and consequently programming under .no) is actually the standard for this entire area. A lot of programs for accessing exchanges either directly support C # or provide an access interface for implementing algorithms under no. Just keep in mind, however, our most popular metatrader can communicate only through the dll mechanism. Another area is near-scientific or scientific software for Windows. Since the majority of techies-industrialists (high school and universities) are not very friendly with the Linux "avado-kedaura" in "bash", and from the entire spectrum of programming, at best, they use matlab in half with excel, the environment is not the most it is for the quick implementation of their ideas . For example, a recent vacancy I saw,

Answer 10

there is an option with writing Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 applications. List them in the Student Store, it's free and try to make money from them.
