Welcome to programming world! Don't worry about it, everyone pass this period at the beginning! You need to think about what you want to do with programming and after decide the language you will learn first! For example c# as I know is used for game programming in unity. So first find what you interested in to create with programming and then pick language and pick project that you are interested in! Copy paste from YouTube tutorials is nice practice for the beginning! Just copy paste and try to understand simple things. Line by line! Change some variables and look how program reacts on this changes! Google some commands that you can't understand from tutorials! Ask here for some code why it and how it works. And don't work overtime! Better 1hour per day 7d/7d than 15hours 2d/7d

Hey Landin! I love c#. It's a tricky language, but allows you to do cool stuff. What got me started was unity 3d and then I also learned other frameworks. How I learned it was I would google as I was building stuff. before that I took a college course and learned python. c# It is definately a tricky language to start out with. Whenever I have a hard time understanding something in c# or any language for that matter I just go back to python and impliment it there. Then I go to c# and build it again. That seems to help a lot. Even for any language. C# also has delegates, interfaces, events that are tricky to grasp at first, but after a while are easy and wonderful to have. To understand those I learned from Udemy and youtube videos so I could grasp those ideas. It really helps to watch more than one video, or read multiple tutorials. Hope that helps.

Just as someone else already says, you should take some codes or try to make your own and experiment with it by changing some variables and stuff. Its inevitable to come across an error, if you find yourself stuck in an error you cant go through, just google it! For me, learning codes is mostly searching for a solution for an error in google edit: pls forgive my terrible grammar

My advice? -learn about flowcharts and how to use them -learn psudocode and how to use it -study the conceptual theory of programming, get interested in all the terminilogy and make a note of them in your journal and on your computer -learn how to write simple scripts well. e.g. something with a for loop and an if/else statement or switch. and use “spaced practice.“ to master it. -most of all, regulate what youre studying by constant writing and note taking on your computer to practice your typing speed.
