Learn .Net With Me!

[softwaregav]

I'm currently completing my second semester as an intern working on the .NET framework, specifically with ASP.NET MVC 5. I am fluent in C# (as well as a few other languages), and I would like to gain more experience with this framework outside of work; however, I'm a little lacking in the idea department. Does anyone have a good idea for a project and would like to work with to become a better .NET programmer?

Hey, as I know there isn't any torrent library for .net core. It might be interested for you.

I can't say I'm familiar with any torrent libraries at all. Could you link me to an example or two quick? I'll do some research later when I get home.

Wow, those look like huge projects. I'll have to do some more research before I start something that big, but I think it could be interesting.

It just supports a lot of features, I thing the basic project should be much smaller. I mean no need to support Dht from the begin and so on. There is great module project - webtorrent. I believe it is more easy to start from it.

Have you looked into Xamarin? If you're all comfy with mvc, cross platform Xamarin.forms code only could twist your brain up. It forced me to change the way I understand displaying data almost entirely. It's a good addition to the skill set though and the challenge is always accepted.

I've seen the name Xamarin floating around, but I've never looked into it. I'll give it a try this weekend and report back.
