I need help with learning .NET (C#) i need a project that is easy and that I can learn from. What did you guys do to learn .NET

@runfrodorun k

I was thrown into a cage with lions called data structures and forced to learn c#, then I was pulled into a full project with wpf, an inventory system, so i learned .net by force

My reommendation would be an ASP.net Web API with entity framework and a winforms/wpf client for that api, start with a basic crud then add token auth and oauth, then make everything async

Lots of pussys here, c# it's fun. It's easier to start with Windows forms, so you don't need to deal with postbacks as with asp. Just try to avoid sharepoint and give a shot to linq if you want to feel c# greatness!

@dpobo yes! LINQ is the fuckin best thing! Don't be discouraged by the Linux evangelists above, if you don't mind Windows and Microsoft you'll love C# and .Net, it's pretty good.

I mimicked the properties window of a folder in VB.net

Then in C# I made a tiny accounting system to learn db handling from code

Same situation here. Have to recall the learnings from college for a job interview. C# is not so bad, and i remember having fun on how clean vs2017 is, albeit a bit bloated (i.e. stuff i dont know what its for..).

Seriously, have fun learning. First simple command line stuff, in case you are not familiar with basic programming and structures and then move to patterns, entity and wpf. Cool stuff. It has some great dev shortcuts.

@runfrodorun most of that is just hate bitching.
"I've never seen good C# code", yeah, because you are biased against C#, so it's all bad to you
"Did I mention Microsoft" yup, just FOSS stallman fellatio again.
Are there things wrong with it, yup, but what they're doing with Core and .Net standard is a great direction.
All languages are shit to people who don't like them. It's our biases and our subjective opinions.

@runfrodorun noneof these are valid arguments

While i don't personally like java, c# is bad like java (assuming java is already bad without giving reason)

And most of these are opinions really, only few are actually valid in an debate.

Not saying c# is good(or bad), just giving an heads up
