Hey everyone! I'm diving into C# and I'm at an intermediate level, meaning I still have a lot to learn. I'm planning to build my first somewhat functional website but I'm confused about how heavily C# is used in web development these days. I know I need to learn basics like HTML and JavaScript for the front end and have heard that MySQL comes into play too, along with Node.js. Can anyone give me some guidance? Is my understanding of how front-end and back-end work together with languages like HTML, JavaScript, C#, and MySQL correct? Looking forward to your honest opinions!

You definitely need to learn HTML and JavaScript along with some database knowledge for web development, but C# has some unique features like Razor and Blazor pages that can come in handy. Check out Blazor if you want to leverage your existing C# skills without completely switching gears. While I usually go for plain HTML5, when databases are involved, I think Blazor really shines!
So, just to simplify things, you're saying HTML, C#, and Razor pages are enough to start with for a basic website? I plan on learning JavaScript later, but I want to focus on making a simple functional site first.
