    Learning C#

    I found this website to learn C#:
    http://thenewboston.org/list.php?cat=15
    So, is that a good way to learn ?

    Re: Learning C#

    Personally I prefer to read tutorials on programming instead of watching them. And a few assignments at the end of each chapter to really let the stuff sink in.
    But the guy seems to cover alot of useful stuff, and if you like watching tutorials instead of reading them and like the guy's explanations, I say go right ahead.
    He seems to have a well-structured course (judging by chapter-names), and from a quick glance, my only objection would be that project properties isn't covered until chapter 200.
    In truth, a mature man who uses hair-oil, unless medicinally , that man has probably got a quoggy spot in him somewhere. As a general rule, he can't amount to much in his totality. (Melville: Moby Dick)

    I'll say that sometimes watching a video of something being done is easier to digest than a tutorial. It all depends on the way that information is presented and the quality of the material being offered. Any media that does a bad job of structuring the topic at hand will make it harder for you to learn while at the same time a well structured session giving bad/old information can be just as, if not more, detrimental to you learning.

    While I haven't looked at the C# videos in question here there were questions on the vb.net series awhile back where I had issues with the video using ArrayLists where a List(Of T) would be a better choice (Hint: always).
    This pattern in common to all great programmers I know: they're not experts in something as much as experts in becoming experts in something.

    The best programming advice I ever got was to spend my entire career becoming educable. And I suggest you do the same.
