Thank you for your feedback and understanding

Answer 1

If you want to develop and pump, be sure to try linux

Answer 2

If you follow the microsoft line, study TCP / IP, AD, MSSQL, preferably some kind of scripting language (maybe more than one): powershell, cmd, javascript, vbs / vba - they are all present in Windows out of the box.
In fact, it's better to start right away with practical tasks (besides, you work according to your profile) - the material is better absorbed, and read articles on MSDN on the relevant topics. All courses and books are for starters only.

Answer 3

I am a computer programmer. I'm still learning English with the help of two programs on android - duolingo and LinguaLeo. Although it seems to me that you can’t do without courses, but for a start it will be more or less (or you can immediately go to good courses).
Regarding literature and other things: here you can look at the link from habr. In my short tenure as a system administrator, I kept it for myself, but I never used it. Look. If the article itself does not give much, then there it still has several parts-continuations + dofiga information on the hub itself, so read, look, use it.

Answer 4

If you need courses with a bias at Microsoft, look for courses from Sergey Shein (Strict Ltd.) on the trackers.

Answer 5

Only open source is the future. This is the freedom of creativity and the freedom of software. And don't feed Bill and his associates.
Books - Evi Nemeth - work through them, it will be cool.
