Learning C#

[Honeydiddle]

Hi all,

 

Im looking to learn C# over the holidays, as i'm starting the degree next year and want to get a head start in the C# area. I have been using this site http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C-Sharp-Fundamentals-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners that is made by Microsoft themselves but wondering if any of you know of other tutorials

 

Thanks in advance

when it comes to programming the concepts are far more important than the specific language you want to master, i am assuming C# will not be the only language you will experience. MIT/Stanford/Harvard and several other respected universities upload the whole series on lectures for introductory computing courses. it may not be C#, but the general structure is nice and well definitely give you an advantage.

Thank you, i know basic python and wanted to learn C# in particular. I will have a look at the uni websites. Thanks

 

Edit: the 2 other languages i'm learning later will be C++ and java

you should check out TheNewBoston on YT. He has a playlist of 200 Videos all about C#. You can download the videos from here as well: http://www.skuzio.com/tnb/ Though its not Bucky(TheNewBoston) who made the tutorials rather someone else.

 

I just finished my course on Java and C and I am not really that good with programming. Same goes for C# since I just started learning it a few weeks ago. Haven't watched the tutorials yet but I plan on doing it this holidays.

understanding the basics of code was the easy part for me, the hard part was understand the object oriented part. I did not understand what I was doing in 2 semesters of java. I then had a c++ class, and learned about memory addressing, and everything clicked.

 

if you want to learn C#, i used murach books, the book is filled with exercise problems and sample code.

 

consequently if you just want to learn a language, code academy is another good place to start.

Thank you both

Learning java? Once you learn C# java will be a cakewalk. If you learn java then C# will be cakewalk. They are so similar in syntax it's not even funny. I can write code in both and am actually working on learning C++. Wanna get lower level and have more fun. I learned to code C# by experimenting on my own and lots of online searches. Check out stackoverflow. Have a question, look there, ask if you can't find an answer.

+1 with Murach's books. He has a really good teaching style. That's how I learned Java.

 

I agree with @rockking1379. C# is incredibly similar to Java because I think MS wanted to do it's own thing. I could be confusing that with VB though. Anyway, yeah, once you understand OO programming concepts like objects and inheritance then you can write really good code that's efficient and reusable.

I would recommend this for C#. This is really awesome

 

If you can do each lesson per day, you can learn whole c# in few days and by the way c# is very easy to pick up if you have base in programming languages already
