Hey guys,
New to the forums and fairly new to programming in general. I have recently obtained a strong interest in all programming; all starting from wanting to develop my own website with HTML, CSS, and JS. I have bought a few books to potentially help me with my learning, but I have decided to try and dive into the fire so to speak. It was a bit overwhelming with all the various types of programming languages, but I have decided to jump right into C# due to its wide range of uses. To get to the point, I am still in the early stages of experimenting with console applications. At the current moment I have worked my way to a basic program that displays a sentence that must be copied and will tell you if it is correct or not. I am now trying to implement a timer that will start from the moment you start typing, end when you hit enter, and tell you how long it took in WPM ( Words per minute). A very basic word per minute calculator. I am having trouble finding information on implementing such a timer, or perhaps have not yet realized a way to apply what I have learned. I am currently using Monodevelop (Xamarin Studio) for programming. Any helpful links or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
