have you considered following some tutorials/reading intro material
Hi Jacob, glad to hear you are picking up an interest in C#! Right on top of my head I think that W3schools could be a good start for you. Link below

Good luck on your journey 😊
That and $helloworld

If you ever use Java it’s going to be rough after experiencing the luxuries of C# lol
@Jacob L don't use this resource
Use the Microsoft stuff linked here
I recommend buying a course on Udemy. They have sales all the time. don't ever buy one of their courses for full price. just keeping checking for it to be on sale and you can buy an entire course for about 20 bucks.
but google and msdocs are free
nice jokeor you could use the 100% free resources to get started, and then google your way to completion on projects that will teach you way more than an overpriced udemy course ever could
⬆️ Which also saves you from getting scammed.
Usually courses tend to have "sales" such as $599.99 $20 BUY IT WITHIN 2 HOURS AND GET A HUGE DISCOUNT!!!!!111
Udemy is discounted 24/7
It's the type of scam that seems like it's cheaper, while it makes 0 difference
Udemy, however, is very useful with their courses, and if you can look past the fake discounts it really does not matter if you get courses there or somewhere else
Free resources can sometimes be hard to find, or manage your progress with, whilst Udemy is always very reliable, but it's up to you. I can imagine buying a course can be quite the investment

Learn C# in your browser, and get started with your own development environment

.NET is a free, cross-platform, open source developer platform for building many different types of applications. With .NET, you can use multiple languages, editors, and libraries to build for web, cloud, mobile, desktop, games, and IoT. This is the official YouTube channel for the .NET team at Microsoft.
pretty basic, but useful i would also recommend you to watch some yt videos explaining more about c# and even following the ms documentation and their own yt channel which are both very good, if you want to learn more (and have more headache too) then you should try to create your own project, just a simple crud using c# and you will start to understand more about what you can do with this language.
good luck and good studies
