  • Reading books. There are some great books on programming out there. I would strongly recommend a A Players Guide to C#. It’s structure, practice problems, and explainations of the basics were far better than any free guide to programming that I’ve seen online. There are a lot of other great books out there too.

    It also doesn’t matter too much about a book being outdated when you are only studying the fundamentals.

    A lot of the stuff you read online has never been fact checked or edited for clarity. Some of it is great, but most of it is not.











  • I would just recommend to make sure you pick small, realistic projects as you learn. There is a lot of cool stuff you can do with programming, but pick the easy, boring stuff and finish it to completion. Everyone makes a todo app, but it’s a really good learning experience, so just make sure you don’t skip the basics.

    I tried to start with learning Unity and C# to make games, but realistically it took about a year of making smaller command line projects before I knew enough to even begin to do something that complicated. Anyways, the fundamentals are important, learn them well.
