❔ How should I learn programming?
I'm sure this is a common question, but I want to learn game development but am a pretty new C# programmer, how should I go about learning programming? Whenever I look at schooling options I think I could learn this much cheaper online, but then I'm overwhelmed with the books and tutorials. How did you guys learn what do you recommend?

Sololearn for c# fundamentals, then hop into unity learn
to be honest, it's good that you want to jump right into game dev, but that's no easy feat. I would start with the very basics first, then jump into something medium and then advanced topics, once you have a good understanding of the C# programming language as a whole, that's when I would jump into game dev
