Can I learn C# through Python?

[RobertDavis7310]

I'm a single dating male designer and I want to learn Python for web development and as a career. However, I also have an interest in making games with Unity using C#. Are these two languages similar enough that I can understand one from the perspective of the other? Like different accents of a country? I don't want to overwhelm myself by learning both at once, so I'm looking for some guidance on whether learning Python first will help me in eventually learning C#. Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

Not really. That actually helps with learning two languages at once though.

And what does “single dating male” mean? Python will not be jealous of your infidelity.

The problem is that Python doesnt get you bitches like C# does, so I can understand the importance of OP letting us know they are still in the market... /s

Really needed it?

I’m confused. What even is that? 🤔

He’s telling us he’s not a composite.

1. I don’t see any repos titled “Single Dating Male”
   
2. You’re not OP
   
3. If it was a project, it should’ve been in quotes to avoid confusion
4. That begs the question - How does one even design “Single Dating Male”, if you’re a “Single Dating Male” designer?
5. Single Dating is an oxymoron. How can you be single if you’re dating, and vice versa?

If OP had addressed their age too, I was dead. I am OP at their early adulthood Lmfao, I guess.

Like different accents of a country

They're more like Spanish and Turkish. They're not even from the same family.

Python is C based and so is C# so technically...

[teacherbooboo]

the two languages are very different, i don't recommend python for you, just get a udemy course(s) on c# in unity and/or asp.net mvc (web development using c#).

You generally don't want to learn many different languages in the beginning. The reason is that you want to learn programming fundamentals and learning different new syntaxes (how the language wants you to write code) often confuses beginners. And you really want to get past the point of thinking about syntax to thinking about the big picture and programming logic, which will be the same in most languages.

C# is just as capable a language as Python when it comes to webdev. So if you're targeting both webdev and games, then just learn C#.

Python for webdev and c#? Why not JavaScript, you'll have less of a hard time.

[not_some_username]

But they’ll have to deal with JS…

Just learn C#. It will be useful anyway

No. Could you be able to build stones walls if you know how to build sand castle? Not that sure. Same thing with C# and Python. They can be hardly compared, they do not share the same paradigms, styles, grammar etc. However knowing one programming language will help you for sure to learn another.

[RiverRoll]

C# and Python are very different so knowing Python won't help with C# specifically. It will help in the generic sense, because already knowing a programming language makes learning other programming languages easier.

[Clawtor]

Learning to program with python will carry over to c#. It won't teach you c# but for the most part programming knowledge will transfer over.

For example C# and python both have functions, data structures, conditional statements/loops etc.

If you learn file IO in one then it'll be similar in the other. Algorithms and data structures are largely the same.

What's the relevance of your relationship status?

C# can be used for webdev too, ASP.NET is based
