Someone just asked me for a good source of C#.<\/p>\n
I’ve programmed professionally in about 8 programming languages (included assembly), and have taught in 4 different languages, plus was taught lots of programming languages in college. <\/p>\n
So here’s how I learn a new language — which is very similar to the course I took in college.<\/p>\n
I pick a project to work on in the new language: when I wanted to learn PHP, I built my classroom website, when I wanted to learn how to do a website in Visual Basic, I did the school website, etc.<\/p>\n
So first, pick a project you want to work on and make sure that the language was suited for it. When I want to do C#, I write a Windows\/XBox\/Zune game. There are other things you can do in C# but it’s suited for it.<\/p>\n
So I’d use Dan Water’s Book on Zune programming, and the website at http:\/\/www.begingameprogramming.com\/ to play around until I came up with a game I really wanted to write and go from there.<\/p>\n
In other words, I’m pretty practical, and don’t just program for the sake of programming. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
