I work as a system developer, mainly programming information systems in C# for web, desktop and server environments. Now I'd like to have a go at game development in C# just for the sake of the challenge and expanding my horizons, but where do I start? I've had a look at XNA, but I heard that it's on the way out.
Where does one begin?
I know this says "Teens" but it may be worth a look: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Visual-Programming-Teens-Course-Technology/dp/1435458486/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1371394387&sr=8-3&keywords=c%23+game
I just saw this today funnily enough, I have no affiliate with the author (or Amazon)

This might be too much to ask. (Why on earth would I want to depart from IIS after all?)
What I'm looking for is a pretty good embeddable HTTP server. I've looked around, and I'm not yet sold on Kayak. But I haven't found many others.
Can anyone recommend a reliable, embeddable HTTP Server written in C#? Preferably one that implements the Python WSGI spec, that would be awesome.

I was wondering what is the best way to go on this one. My intention is to better learn C# by making a game and an appropriate GUI.
My game would have been something like ZooTycoon (http://www.gamespot.com/zoo-tycoon/)
but much more simple.
As I really don't intend to learn a new language (like DirectX) only to write GUI for this application I would prefer something simpler but handy. Does that even exist?
I would recommend looking at SlimDX or SharpDX.

In our real life Java and C# both has a significant effect. Personally I love Java because of its complexity also I have experience in C# too. I want to know, from desktop application to robotics, web application to machine learning what are the fields which are possible in Java but not currently available in C# and vice versa. Thank you.
Given both languages are Turing complete, anything you can do in one language you can do in the other.

I've learned a lot of programming language, and I think that Java or C# are most likely the best for getting a job, but I was wondering if I am correct in thinking this, or are there other popular languages I should know about?
Looking at the trends, Java is slowly losing popularity whilst C# is increasing in popularity:

The Oracle buyout and subsequent astonishing mismanagement of Sun might have an impact on Java's future prospects, but there will always be Java jobs. You can still get jobs working on 30 year old COBOL projects; there's too much Java code around for it to disappear any time soon.

Does anyone know the best opensource for .NET controls?
With Dev Express, Telerik, they so cool, but they are commercial version.
You can already find quite a lot of interesting stuff on Codeplex. And of course there's no stopping yourself to create your own custom controls for your application. Take a look at these tutorials: Developing Custom ASP.NET Server Controls..
How about Mono’s re-implementation of Windows Forms?
