Update my toolkit of Office development. That is, if I'd want to study from the beginning, what is the not-out-of-date technique I should learn? I know it is not VBA anymore (Visual Studio is newer / more modern technology) and maybe it isn't VSTO either since that was like 2002-2012 the technology to use, but now we are in 2017 and the developers using the newest technology use what today?

I basically develop offline workbook automation with custom UIs (WPF) and some SQL Server database connections.
