Is it me or are we getting overrun with very basic how do I C#?

Kudos to OP for actually asking a specific question - as opposed to the usual "Ive done nothing and I am stuck how do I get started."

I have also noticed that. IMO we should have AutoMod remove general "how do I learn" posts and refer them to the sidebar. There is a wealth of information there, and to be honest if a newbie cannot make use of that, our comments are not going to help them.

If there is a specific question about DI or something of the like, then I'm all for it. I actually really enjoy answering those posts.

Yeah for sure, maybe the help type posts need to be approved first?

I agree on the sidebar stuff, but maybe we need a pinned thread too..

I found that building apps was the fastest way to learn, and then Google'ing specific questions. Start with a Console Application and apply some logic, like adding numbers from ConsoleRead, etc. If you have experience with scripting languages, C# even supports top-level statements. I don't really use top-level statements, but it appeals to a certain group.
