[satimis]

Hi folks,

I'm a beginner on CSharp. Just installed Monodevelop to start my learning journey.

Main Page - Mono

After googling Internet on tutorial in learning CSharp on Monodevelop including checking the documentation on Mono website I found tons of respective stuffs even video on YouTube. I hesitate where shall I start. Please shed me some lights. TIA

The video on YouTube are very interesting. One of the course is in Spanish.

When I saw the title of your thread, I thought you were going to complain that you couldn't find anything on the Internet, because I recently made the same search and was disappointed. Most of the tutorials I found aren't very good or are geared for those transitioning from a similar language, like C++ or Java. But when it comes to learning resources, we all have different needs. There isn't the variety of online tutorials and downloadable books like there are for C, C++, and Java.

The one online resource that I've been back to several times is:

C# Practical Learning

(I'm not allowed to post links yet, so Google it, and you should find it.)

My main complaint about that site is that it presents a topic then spends a lot of time providing instructions on how to explore that topic in a Visual C# environment. Certainly, translating those instructions to MonoDevelop is possible and not that difficult, just annoying.

And I haven't given Microsoft's C# site a chance, because I know it's going to be focused on Visual C# programming.

I really like books written by Deitel, so I ordered one from Amazon. They are relatively expensive - like a textbook - but when Deitel writes a book on a programming topic, there isn't much else to say. Other than my personal opinion of Deitel's books, I can't recommend a specific one, because I haven't gotten it yet. Again, everyone has their favorites based on personal learning needs.

Let us know what you find, online and otherwise, that you consider good resources for learning C#.

Good luck!
