I have some background in Python and Bash (this is entirely self-taught and i think the easiest language from all). I know that C# is much different, propably this is why it is hard. I’ve been learning it for more than 4 months now, and the most impressive thing i can do with some luck is to write a console application that reads 2 values from the terminal, adds them together and prints out the result. Yes, seriously. The main problem is that there are not much usable resources to learn C#. For bash, there is Linux, a shit ton of distros, even BSD, MacOS and Solaris uses it. For python, there are games and qtile window manager. For C, there is dwm. I don’t know anything like these for C#, except Codingame, but that just goes straight to the deep waters and i have no idea what to do. Is my whole approach wrong? How am i supposed to learn C#? I’m seriously not the sharpest tool in the shed, but i have a pretty good understanding of hardware, networking, security, privacy. Programming is beyond me however, except for small basic scripts

    Most probably, yes. A lot of these are fundamental concepts of most modern object-oriented languages that I am familiar with. It may be worth refreshing your basic programming skills/concepts with a book you like. There are plenty available online for free in C#, Java, C++, Go, etc.

      Refreshing what? I don’t have anything to refresh here. I only have experience with scripting languages, which are not object oriented at all

        This is going to sound harsh but… You need to take an intro to programming course.

        I didn’t know what your doing in Python, but you’ve not learned to program in Python. Maybe just copy pasting or making small changes to existing stuff? Working in a specific framework? Are you writing code from scratch?

        You need to understand datatypes (a concept Python tries to hide from you and imo does a disservice to novices), structures, conditional is, loops, etc. These concepts aren’t language specific.

          Yes, i write from scratch in python, but only basic things. The most advanced are reading from a file and defining an own function. I’m in a programming course already
