Hey, I’ve been looking to get into C# programming for a while now, and self-teaching and free internet resources haven’t really worked for me. Are there any programing workbooks that you’ve used to learn C#? I’m using Linux Mint if that affects which IDEs I would be able to use.

    There are many options for editor / ide, but visual studio code and c# pair well. Have you programmed in the past or is this your first time?

    For really new people I suggest doing simple things like hello world, a calculator, random number generator.

      I have done basic programming in HTML, C#, Python, and probably a few other “niche” applications that are really only borderline programming, if at all (like editing JSONs, scripting, etc.). I’ve gotten roughly to the point of making a custom calculator or other basic application, but generally get stuck (and therefore bored) once I run out of clear instructions. I’m not good at learning skills by myself (I.E., without a teacher or other guidance), but have had success learning complex software with commercially available workbooks/textbooks. I tend to do poorly without structure when learning things, hence the need for a workbook.
