Need help learning C#.

[adham.]

Hey guys

so i'm new to programming like less than 6 months in experience and i like it very much actually
I'm a novice in JS and HTML i'm still learning but i feel like i'm moving quickly now due to learning over the period of 6 months or so that i've talked about.

But before i've learned anything about JS and HTML i really wanted to learn C# but couldn't find any good websites to learn from. I'm learning JS and HTML from Codeacadmy and they are amazing. sadly though they don't have any C# courses and i really want to learn C# but never found any websites and all the videos i've seen are too complicated and lack in the engaging process that Codecademy provides. So i'm seeking help here if anyone can tell me a good place to learn C# i would be thankful.

Thanks in advance

Do codeacademy do Java? Java and C# are very similar.

Yes, And i've been learning Java for a while now. The problem is i don't know anything about C# and thus i don't know how they are similar.

JavaScript and C# are almost the same. Instead of function you use void and some other things but you figure it out fast

I'd just open visual studio and start typing in Java (not JavaScript, easy to get them mixed up because of the names).

If you get errors it will say what you need to change. They really are so similar - just boolean is bool and a couple of little things like that.

The official Microsoft page for C# is a good start. It even has in browser coding so you don't have to use VS if you don't want to.

so not true. Void is used when a function doesn't return anything where as if it returns, for example a string, you have to define the function as a string. "void" is not the function

Ah amazing! I was trying really really hard to not say anything... So glad that you've fielded the first attack!

There's no 'a' in that see: Codecademy

I'd direct you to Pluralsight and any of the latest beginner to intermediate C# courses therein. However I would also suggest that you start thinking about your theory because any given chimp can learn how to bang and clatter around in a given syntax and this is exactly where Codecademy alone will leave you... Being able to write good quality software that adheres to good engineering and design principles is a different story entirely.

 

Appropriate questions may be: What do you want from this and what's driving you?

Depending on how profficent at programming you are this might be all you really need:

 

If one video's not enough, there should be a full series on C# on his channel. He's also got some videos on Unity which basically uses C#.

Google is your friend, I just learned (10+ years ago) by doing. Just bring up the developers studio and start writing code - I knew C and C++, if you know at least some Java it is close. Write java and the IDE will give you errors where there are mistakes. Google search specific questions, read Microsoft's help and code libraries, read stack overflow. 

 

Frankly there is no better way to learn to code than by picking a project and doing it.

agreed. Not just Microsoft any of the major languages have very good documentation. Microsoft also has code snippets.
