It is sad to say, but programming in C# using Visual Studio basically consists of clicking buttons, dragging and dropping files and checking / unchecking checkboxes in order to get everything generated.
Where are to good old days, when code still had to be typed. :(

    Look on the bright side, you won't have to worry about consistency as much.

    Sounds like you need to move over to Java buddy 😂

    Yeah, I have been programming in Java for the last couple of years and to be honest I enjoyed it more than click and wait C# today.

    If you want click and drag but with some added challenges, give JavaFX a try. All the fun of visual studio minus the stupidly simple dev environment :p

    Didn't hear about that yet. However, after some research it looks awesome. Thanks! @orion-ix

    WinForms of course, WPF in some way. But also when it comes to database connections or simple . NET applications, most of the time you are just sitting and waiting for the progress bar to fill up. @shittywebdev

    Yea you can write a basic win forms app by dragging and dropping stuff. I haven't written a desktop app in years. People are still doing this? Web api and angular 2 FTW

    are you kidding me? then why is this c# course teaching me all this goddamn typing? I'm clearly doing it wrong.

    Haha even if you do wpf or win forms, you still have to know c# you just don't have to do much ui work. But still in my opinion most apps can be done using the web nowadays.

    But rapid dev tools (Visual Basic, PowerBuilder) have been around since the early 90s at least... This isn't a new thing lol

    You're right. But as they kept on developing over the years they kind of pushed "real programming" out of the way. @error13

    Idk, I've programmed a few projects in VS the last couple years, and I've never done the drag-and-drop thing for any of them. I still hate that project settings thing tho

    What code are you writing in c# where you are always clicking and dragging and fiddling with checkboxes, I've been coding with it since day one and my hands hardly leave the keyboard !
