Learning C# with Win UI

[mathman]

HI,
Does anyone know which colleges and Universities are teaching an online course in C#?
I am trying to learn it on my own, but I have insomnia making it difficult to learn on my own.

Moving to C# General discussion. This is now Visual Studio specific.

In general, I recommend learning C# separately from learning any kind of UI frameworks and database interactions. Once you have a relatively solid grasp of C#, then take on learning a UI framework OR a database engine. Note the "OR". Once you learn one, then learn the other. Trying to go up 2 or 3 learning curves simultaneously can be very tough, and doesn't lead to building good foundations in those 2 or 3 areas.

First off, start by learning how to use Visual Studio and how to use GitHub in Visual Studio. A common mistake beginners do is not setup a GitHub repository. By having a GitHub repository if a error is encountered for code that was working a developer can undue changes.

Check out Pluralsight which has many courses on learning, in this case C# along with Iris which is an A.I. tool to assess which courses you should take.

As Skydiver mentioned, start out with the basics which is best done with using Console projects.

A good place to start is the following free course which teaches using console projects and for learning Visual Studio besides the above link, check out these short Microsoft lessons on YouTube.

I am reading a book about C# and Win UI. So as I read the book there is going to be some mixing with each assignment. This includes the Win UI framework and XAML.
