❔ Next Steps
So I've gone through this video (uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhQdlIFylQ8&list=PLMiJ4UdH3PquQ79zfLRrLH-BPhQzyocTu&index=1&t=7765s) and built some simple programs over the past month , ie a calculator, Encylopedia etc and was wondering what to do next. I've seen some people recommend coding graphical elements and others who recommend tutorials on how to build small applications (since that is the end goal)- any advice would be appreciated

Maybe jump into windows forms , there you can build your first graphical userface with drag and drop , and then use your learned c#skills to build cool stuff.
When you create a project, dont select console application, select windows forms app.
You will find the drag and drop elements under view - show toolbox.
Try to build a calculator with an User Interface there.
Just to get you started:
When you created a textbox for example with drag and drop, you can right click that textbox and go to properties. There, you should change its name to something useful like "FirstNameTextBox".
Then, you can acess it for example like that: "FirstNameTextBox.Text = "Michael";
Or If you have a listbox you can do something like:
"UserListBox.Items.Add("Simon");
Oh ok cool thanks
is there anythong besides windows forms that you recommend @ang619
@acechewy I am a beginner myself so i cant really help you.
Blazor comes to my mind, but i think thats too complicated for your current state.

just keep in mind windows forms is outdated at this point and the only advantage is that it's relatively simple compared to modern frameworks
I honestly would not bother with winforms at all. Personally, I found it just slowed me down when I inevitably learned something more modern like WPF or Avalonia.
