How to begin with C#

Welcome to my first big tutorial about C#. I hope that you will learn a lot from this tutorial. I've made this tutorial in different chapters like: "Why C#?", "Where to start?" and so on. I see a lot of people asking about where to start and how to learn the basics and now I will make this thread to all these people who don't know where to start.

What is C#?

C# is an object oriented, high level programming language developed by Microsoft that aims to combine the computing power of C++ with the programming ease of Visual Basic. C# is based on C++ and contains some features similar to those of Java. C# runs with Net Framework like for example VB.net. You can read more about what C# is right here

Why should I choose C#?

• You can make games in C# (XNA).
  
• It will be easier to learn C or C++, if you learn C# first, because the syntax is very similar.
  
• It's a high level programming language.
  
• It's object oriented
  

Where to download?

First of all we need a IDE, so we can start making our own programs. You can download Visual C# 2010 here
After downloading we can start making our own programs.

Tutorials

You can learn C# with different kinds of tutorials. You can read ebooks, watch video tutorials or find some explained sources and make them.
Now I will post all the sites, ebooks and video tutorials I've used to learn C#

• Youtube: Youtube is a great way to find video tutorials about C#. A guy named Adam have made 200 video tutorials for the new boston (Watch The New Boston's chanel here)
• Education Forums: This site is also a great site to learn C#. Just take a look in the C# section and watch some tutorials/source codes and try to make them.
• Ebooks:This is probably the best way to learn. You will get all the small details and everything if you read ebooks. If you don't know where to get some ebooks, then you can download some ebooks about C# coding here.
• Other Websites: C# Station, Google, Microsoft Visual C# Developer Center
  
  

How to start?

When we have downloaded the IDE we can start making programs. But first we have to know how C# actually works.
Below you can see a video where I will show you the templates in C# (the different kind of programs you can make) like Windows Forms, console applications and so on. There are also other templates, but I've only the templates there already are in the program when you download it. You can download more templates if you go to "Online templates".
Now you have downloaded the C# compiler and you are ready to start programming. First you should take a look at the chapter named "Tutorials" above, where you can find some good places to learn C# and start your programming adventure.

Source codes & mini tutorials made by me

This is where I will post mini tutorials and source codes made by me. Maybe you should read some other tutorials or ebooks before trying all these sources and tutorials, because I will not explain all of them.
