Learning C# course
-
Hi, do you know of a free online course to learn C# to an advanced level (not just a beginners course) ? There are some great examples (like MVC tutorials) on this site but I was looking to improve my general C#. I know a fair bit of C# but would love to be able to use it better.

Yes, there is online course to become a C# programmer, to an expert level. Also, it is free! It is on the Microsoft Developer Network (AKA MSDN), and you can start your tutorial guide, from here... https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kx37x362.aspx[^]. You can learn the basics about C#, keep applying them in your applications, convert basic real-world systems into .NET applications using C#, you will stumble upon a lot of problems while doing so. You will be able to tackle them, by getting help from MSDN or asking a question about that particular problem on CodeProject... You cannot just cram a book and learn a programming language, you must use it in real-life too.
The shit I complain about It's like there ain't a cloud in the sky and it's raining out - Eminem ~! Firewall !~

thank you for your reply !! I see the link you gave. Its good but a bit bullet point- there is an example and a few paragraphs underneath but not as interactive as i would have liked.

Programmers do not get attracted by the graphics or the images. They love the code, and the structure of the code. I have been using MSDN for many years, and I have always love the way they teach their APIs and languages. If you have a better scheme of user-interface or user-experience, please do share with them. They would love your suggestions and feedback. It would also help others like you, to better like MSDN. :)

its code that I am after and not graphics. its just a bit hard to make something out of MSDN. I would love to build a bigger and bigger example where you could start off at the basics of classes and cover all the topics in between (arrays, interfaces, xml etc etc) and keep adding to the same example - you could see it working and play around with it. MSDN seems a bit of a reference point. Thanks for the help !

I agree that MSDN is pretty much like reading an encyclopedia. Lots of accurate, detailed information, but drier than stale beef jerky. Sounds to me like you're looking for something similar to what I'm after. I have been considering taking a C# class at our local community college, but I'd prefer something I can do at home on my free time (and schedule). I've already read and experimented with most of the projects in a book called Head First C#. That's pretty much how I taught myself the basics. I am now using Professional C# 2005 (another book) as my go-to reference for my on-the-job projects here at FlightSafety (Broken Arrow, OK). If you find a web site or another book that's a more advanced version of Head First C#, please let me know! Thanks. :-D

I think Head Frist C# is a great book for learning C#. I was going to get it but c# 6.0 is coming out and maybe it will do a new book for it. They should make a Pro or advanced version. I got books like 'Pro c# and the .NET framework' and it was interesting but even after finishing it I would not really be confident in writing a solution from scratch. Some of the tutorials here on codeproject are more tuned in to what I need than what Microsoft came up with :)

I agree. Well, then... I guess we will just have to keep our fingers crossed (or keep looking). :~

Hi there! Looks like a good learning book. I had a look at the free PDF of Chapter 1 and 10, but I found it to be a little too Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2013 centric. We use Windows 7 and VS 2012 here at work. Does the rest of the book read more as a progressive tutorial, or more like a reference book? How much do want for it? ;)

That's only a sample! Nobody can learn all about C# by reading only chapters 1 and 10. That's why I asked about the rest of the book. :omg:

Thank you! Got the entire book. I had to download it from home, since your site was blocked at work. :cool:

I forgot to mention, www.edx.org are running a Microsoft: DEV204x Programming with C# (its started a few weeks back but maybe there will be another start date or you can still join). Its free : https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:Microsoft+DEV204x+2015_T2/info[]
