- Remove the Themes folder from the Content folder before replacing any files on your webserver, this will preserve any CSS changes you have made.
- Remove the .config files in the root folder as you do not want to replace these.
- If you have modified any of the view files, you should remove those from the relevent folders before replacing your web files, you will need to merge the code in the files you have edited manually.

Depends what you want to do, coding it is reasonably easy if , but in general it is not so simple as classic asp as you would need to recompile the dll's if you make any changes to the code or database that is not just a simple UI change, so requires Visual studio and a separate dev environment to make changes to before updating your website. Should you make any changes to base code files it would also mean manually upgrading from the source code.
Plugins are reasonably easy to implement, but even then you a restricted because base code is all in dll's so changes to existing database tables or functions is not so easy.
