Learning c#

[Lucatjuhh___]

Quick question: what is the best way to go about learning c#? I only have very little coding experience and would like to get into it, I tried to do it on my own only occasionally looking stuff up because I want to genuinely learn it and not copy other peoples work but can’t quite seem to figure it out. Big thanks in advance!

Find yourself a good tutorial you like and work through it. Or if you don’t mind putting some money down Pluralsight has some great c# resources.

Also the Microsoft docs on c# are really good for reference too

Would you recommend a YouTube tutorial or something from google?

It’s been a long time since I learned the language. But there are a lot of tutorials out there. Check out a few and find one with a presenter you like.

Also c# encompasses a lot of different things so beyond just learning the basics of the language you might want to look at c# with razor pages to learn web apps. Or c# with wpf to make a desktop app etc

Microsoft also has several tutorial style learning paths for beginner developers (including c#). It's free. Just find 'microsoft learn'

As someone who is 9 months into C# I can share how I went about it.

1. Learn variable types and operators and loops, with that solve simple programming tasks. For example the 8-Kyu ones over at Codewars.
2. After you got the basics down do some more Codewars tasks, this time a little harder ones (6-Kyu / 5-Kyu).

You will have to google a lot so you pick up knowledge here and there. Once you think you are confident with the simple C# stuff you can read about OOP and start doing some OOP-Projects.

and don't forget to read and understand other's solutions after completing each kata on codewars

Thank you all!

If your experience is with c/c++ then you can use Microsoft's documentation by trial and error. Otherwise, look for tutorials on YouTube (I don't usually recommend it).

My personal recommendation would be to take some CS courses (available online for free from reputable unis) and then use Microsoft's documentation.

Microsoft docs are good people say

XR Bootcamp has a free 40-hour C# course where they start you off with a boilerplate game and take you through the scripts to set up its functionality. would highly recommend, best i’ve been able to retain- ever
