This is great. One of my hopes for LitDev extension was that it would act as a taster for what could be done and act as a bridge to C# or other languages.
For code sharing and version control get a free GitHub account, where you can save private and public code projects. This integrates into VS and otherwise there is a free Windows GitHub Desktop version. One thing about most languages including C# is that there are solution and project configuration files as well as resources and code, so ad-hoc file sharing can be painful. This is my account for example https://github.com/litdev1.
All resources are free for almost all levels of software development, just check any licensing before 'borrowing' code, but almost all is opensource - there is a big opensource community that are very keen to keep things open. MS now even uses GitHub in favor of its own version and .Net itself is opensource - opensource means it gets developed faster and can be virtually guaranteed to not be malicious as loads of coders can and do look at all the code.
To use external libraries dowload from other peoples GitHub code. Also use Nuget to get external pre-built libraries which again integrates into VS and SharpDevelop (although I did have some issues with this).
I am very happy to help any of you get started on this journey beyond SB and I hope you can help each other.
