Where Can I find Code to Read? (C#)

[benxie0]

Hi, I am a student trying to learn C#, and I have heard a good way to learn is to  read code. Is there any place that has C# code to read? 

 

Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

On YouTube you can look up projects and download the Source Code and read through it. See if you can understand how everything in there comes together to make the program work.

Microsoft's documentation for C# is really good, just read through some of the basic stuff. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/618ayhy6(v=vs.120).aspx

 

I would recommend that you just google some beginner projects to do and if you are not sure how to do them look up some stuff on the documentation.

I wonder if his goal is to read someone else's code and follow their logic and understand what they are doing and why.

For me it is actual problem solving that helps me to learn. try to find a simple project get stuck in, encounter a problem, fix it, move onto the next problem.

 

has worked for me so far LOL

GitHub is filled with open source projects in many languages. You'll fine some real nasty code there and plenty of bugs. Locate someone's project that you like the look of, fix a bug or make an improvement and then roll a pull request. Expect the open source community to give you plenty of nasty attitude

As Nuluvius said, GitHub is a great place to look at sources.

I did this but in Java then I tried using my own logic

I don't really think github is the place to go yet.. If you are still learning you will end up in over your head and may possibly scare you away from programing.. (Not saying it will happen to you, but i have seen people look at some source code and then just give up because it looked to complex)

You want to go do something like this.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1714324
Pick a challenge read the brief, try to do it alone and then look are the other users code.. This is not only a great way to get you problem solving but is it also a prime example that shows there is more than one way to skin a cat..

Are you gonna work on desktop, metro or windows phone apps?

I personally found this video tutorial guide very useful for learning c# / xaml (windows phone and metro apps):

http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Windows-Phone-8-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners/Part-1-Series-Introduction

 

If you want to learn with a (good/profesional) video guide/tutorial instead of just lines of code and text have a look around on:

channel9.msdn.com

Channel 9 is a good place to start.

You could also have a look at the tutorials over at java2s: http://www.java2s.com/Tutorials/CSharp/index.htm
