Best way to learn coding?

[Eronisch]

Hi,

I realy want to learn C#, but i don't know what is the fastest way to learn it? Just reading books, Just mess with some C# Codes, Read tutorials? Or any other things?

Well I learnt PHP (I know its not c, but it dosent matter) just by reading tutorials, or Ebooks. And when i came to creating web applications I just searched it on google if I didnt know how to do something. Its all trial and error really, good luck!

There is no "fast" way of learning any programming language (unless you have some background programming experience and the language syntax is similar to what you've studied before).
You need lots of patience, and I really mean LOTS. You can google lots of tutorials regarding C# and follow them along. There's also lots of good videos on YouTube that explain how to program and debug sucessfully your applications. You must have an open mind if you want to progressly increase your coding experience even more, the more imagination and practice, the more wonderfull things you're able to make. When it comes to programming, your only limitation is your Imagination. You have all that you need in order to learn a programming language on the World Wide Web. It won't take a week, nor a month, nor even a year. Experience and Practice brings perfection, but there's always new things to learn. _Always_ . And I'm pretty sure other programmers that visit this section will say the same. Now, read tutorials, pratice, repeat, get ideas, produce, repeat, practice, read, study.. it's a long road, but it's not impossible

Mix and match.

* You need the theory from books. (read)
* You need to read other people's code so you see how the theory is applied and get ideas for places where to use it. (explore)
* You need hands-on experience from trying out everything new in your own code. You simply won't learn coding without doing it. (code)

yea like the comment above i think best to find a nice book with lots of exercises which guide you threw small to really hard problems. as long as you keep at it and no give up it will start to stick. i took a class for c# but even the professor jus showed small examples and had every 1 in the class do the rest on their own. its the best way to learn threw trial and error.

If you're going with C# or any other .NET language use MSDN.
When you can't get your stuff to work, keep trying.
It's also wise that you start with a small program and extend that when you learn more.
Worked great for me personally.

PS: Also, buying programming books written in English are the way to go. Always.

It's easy if you are experienced in Java or something similar to C#.

The best way to learn coding is to not learn coding.

Depends on language.. I learned php/html/sql by messing with private server CMS's, looking at what did what, messing with them, and gradually making my own. W3Schools Online Web Tutorials is good for some basics.

I like watching youtube tutorials and stuff

That's how I learned HTML and PHP.

Thanks guys, this realy helped me

My school's lecturer long breath. He is more willing to talk about C language more than anything else. Even his causal chat with students are semi c language.

In my opinion, getting the language down is as easy as just getting the syntax. While there are millions of classes, you can research about them while you make something. I think that for anyone, the best way to learn would be by experience. I mean after getting the syntax down, it's all about using the different .net classes to make things happen. Sorry for being vague, but my brain isn't working atm

This is like asking what's the best way to learn a subject in school, when you're in school.

Like everyone above said, it's all about hands on experience, that's the ONLY way to learn.
Looking at others code, tweaking it and even recreating are the best ways to be introduced. (After knowing basics from reading of course)

awesome, I'm going to start to learn HTML. ><.

 

[Orichalcos]

Ok!, I'll Be Honest!.. Best And Fast Way.. Is To Contact Someone On Ragezone Ask Them For And IM Service Or An E-Mail Adress ( Basically A Way Of Contacting! ) And Then Ask Them To Help You.. And Learn You Basics... I Would Suggest Starting Off With Visual Basic!... Contact Me If You Want Some Help On Coding!.

ive learned alot by watching tuts on youtube.

well look at some c coding way i learned coding is looking at the program the way it works what each thing does boom i learned c then i got better and better ;]

I suggest this ( if you wan to learn html )
Download some simple html codes( for websites ) and start to edit/delete/add and see what it makes , or go to w3school(dot)com , this is the way i learned
