Missing Pieces in My Learning for 2020

If you read my posts here, it can be seen that my main technology used is Microsoft's .Net with C#.
My main apps are WPF, with Dapper ORM/SQL, and a small module in Asp.Net core Razor pages. But I still feel I have many missing parts in my learning process. I am finding the following tutorials really interesting to pursue, and cover these areas. I started them, but didn't go through them in detail. I am glad I found these, and this is the plan for me during the first half of 2020.

A. Identity Framework for Asp.Net Core.
I did some small tutorials this far on this topic, and lately I found this one. Code Maze is the best at C# tutorials, and this is my next one on Identity:

I feel there are missing pieces for me in this framework, and please let me have new materials if you find some.

B. Entity Framework Core
I used EF Core in my Asp.Net web project, but I still think that there are things to be learnt here. I found Tim's newest tutorial on this, quickly checked it but didn't have time to go deeply... Another one to check more in detail.

C. Asynchronous C# with Async/Await
I started using this in my Asp and WPF project, and indeed it added some responsiveness to my apps. Need to study this deeper. Any ideas on this are welcome!

D. Logging in Asp.Net Core.
I never used this in my apps, but I plan to. The greatest source for this will be my newly purchased course on Asp.Net core 3: https://code-maze.com/ultimate-aspnet-core-3-web-api/

E. Check out Blazor, especially server side, later on, this year.

F. Some more Javascript on the front-end, and then my framework of choice, Angular. I am very behind in my learning with Angular, partly because I have to work on my projects. Currently I use some JQuery tools on my Asp.net project, like datatables.js, pivotjs, chart.js, and I really like what I discovered. Any new ideas are welcome.

If you want web programming such as Asp.Net then CSS is needed for the front-end. At least on a basic level.
