If you have any specific questions/concerns you should ask directly
i mean, i didn't learn C# from a school if that's what you mean
lots of people don't
yeah, I want to ask certain people, what course do they recommend
for beginners and beyond
because I'm really confused about filtering what course is useless and what isn't :)
i didn't use any courses
i did random tutorials and asked questions until i knew enough to be able to go straight to the documentation to find what i need
What was your experience? What would you change on your journey if you could go to the past?
spend less time modding games for 0 money and do something else for more than 0 money
lmao nice advice
What about you @Moods ?
you might get more responses asking in #career-talk
Uhhh, get to a point where you’re learning from making projects
I also didn’t learn from school so all of my C# knowledge is from stuff I’ve done + docs + books + interacting with people here
being a programming is mostly about problem solving, not necessarily just the code itself.
For example, in a professional programming job, your business may make a request like "we already have a mobile app for receiving parts, but we would also like a custom app for shipping parts". (this is a real world example from my experience). That is a very general request. The business didn't give me:
- a language to use
- platform information (in this case they wanted it to run on android mobile scanners)
- what systems the app needs to integrate with
- what format the web services are in (JSON, XML, ...)
- do I need to directly manipulate the database at all?
- etc.
I had to go out and figure all that information out. Now most programming jobs will give you more direction than this example, but you will almost never be told exactly how to do something, because if your boss could tell you exactly how to do something, then he/she would probably just do it.
So you need to learn how to problem solve so you can be self sufficient. There is a steep learning curve to programming, but if you keep up the work you will eventually get to the point where you are "comfortable" because although you don't know everything, you know how to research so you have confidence you could approach any task.
That is why @jIMMACLE is recommending you go start working on your own projects and not strictly following a tutorial. Following a tutorial teaches you how to follow a tutorial. Making your own projects will teach you to problem solve and become self sufficient.
I don't mean to be rude at all but haven't you learned that at school? I was taught how to recognize whether an online ressource is any useful and whether its a serious one. Didnt you learn to judge the quality of online ressources there? You dont really need programming skills for that. This is just knowing how to use google properly
