Advice on Transitioning to C#?

Question

In recent years it seemed to me like C# has become the cleanest choice among the mainstream languages one encounters in local job ads, etc. As someone who has used a lot of different languages I'm wondering what the best path is to getting a sense of being a C# developer. I would appreciate it if anyone is interested in answering some of my questions like: If you switched to C# what resources did you use (would the same resources still be appropriate today), what IDE, how would you categorize the type of projects you've worked on in industry in C#? If your background was not on windows, did you fully transition over and how did the transition go?

My experience was from 2013ish so it may not be applicable here.Best IDE and environment for C# is Visual Studio (not vs code) on windows. For me, C# is the best if you want to handle monetary transaction, due to it's native decimal data type. It is the worst to handle frontend (html) due to their static data types (cmiiw).

"what resources did you use (would the same resources still be appropriate today)"worry on them?they're as many as that of Java's, just differs in pushing us to grope a bit more into our pockets
