I started with JavaScript 6 months ago and it was sooo hard I almost quite but somehow I keep going. I got to the point where I am comfortable with JS and 2 weeks ago I started a kind of Bootcamp and I needed to go through c#. Let me tell you. C# seems sooo easy now, I can't even believe that I understand those stuff. I think The harders thing is until you get into that developer mindset. After that, any language is easier to learn. The first one is the hardest no matter what. At least this is what I think.

Well same thoughts here about programming languages here @Oblivion. I also started with freecodecamp for html css and JavaScript. Html and css, i was somehow able to make it through their curriculum. but JavaScript! Nope. Maybe I should have chosen a different or easy resource. Because now it has affected my mentality. I just try to avoid JavaScript as much as i can. As a result, languages like C++, java, C have seen easier to me now other than JavaScript. But there is a harsh truth, u can't avoid change. It is inevitable. So...... Iam learning it again only because i was interested in web applications and asp.net, I know blazor is there, but most of the tutorials are focused on JavaScript. And i really can't avoid the functionality of JavaScript in web applications with blazor.

This video totally changed my view on software development. I honestly thought you had to memorize the language and all of that in order to sit down and code something from scratch. I learned Python for like 6 months and gave up because I couldn't sit down and just start coding from memory. I figured that's what I needed to do to be a successful programmer. I'm starting over with C# hoping to either develop my own apps/games or get a job as a developer. A lot of the things I learned in Python have transferred over into C#. Like logic and how code is structured and all of that. Thank you for this video, it was just the motivation I need to try harder and start thinking about how to make things come together, rather than memorizing a million lines of code.

Hey guys. I'm mostly an HTML and CSS guy. With that said, I've dabbled on Java and C# on a surface level. However, there's just something that FEELS better when using C#. I can't exactly tell why, especially since the codebase structure and environment are supposedly similar.

[@LuterofromTx]

I’ve been in school as a CompSci major for about a year and a half (programming classes specifically) but so far i’ve only been able to cover C++ in class. I plan on independently starting to learn C# as my second language especially after some of my other friends (some in the field some in school) have recommended it, so i’m hoping the switch won’t be too brutal so long as i practice!

[@subliminalcastillo2126]

C# is not nearly as difficult as people think that it is. It was my first real language that I learned how to program in (I had messed around copying other peoples pygame source codes like 5 years ago but was too immature to discipline myself and actually learn it) It has a very steep learning curve. MEANING... It is pretty difficult to get into, but after that it is SMOOTH sailing. Once you learn how to do one thing, 600 other things open up to you since they all function very similarly. If you show dedication, and work hard to try to learn the things you don't understand, and don't walk away on something just because you think you can't learn it, you will go far.

C# is hard depending on how you approach it or any other task when I first started to learn C# everything was new to me . I didn't understood anything and on top of that I wanted to do big things with it . so obviously it was "hard" I kind of gave up . until a few months ago I try it again with different approach and instead of doing something i decided to learn what and how things work e.g. for 3 days (30 mins each day ) I would study about variables watch videos or read about it take notes try to absorb as much as i can about that topic then other 3 days i would learn about if statements etc. so in conclusion i slowed myself down and now it has been easier to program p.s I'm not saying programing is easy but I took a different approach that made it easier for me to learn and work with it

Thanks for mentioning the point about coders googling a lot of things rather than memorizing everything. I've been toying with the idea of getting into coding and starting with C# for game development, and was getting overwhelmed with it all, but one thing I know I'm good at is research and knowing what it is I need to search for to find.. So knowing that's how things are done by professionals is a huge relief.

This guy predicted the future. Everything he said was about me. Looked into C# as I saw my company uses it a lot(wish I would have done this first). But I started his C# tutorial and felt like he was teaching in a different language. So much so, I went and looked for intro to CS to brush up on the basics. My guess is that it's not easy or everyone would be doing it. That's why there are so many jobs out there. Or no one is learning the language because Python is all the rage.

It depends on what kind of job you want to get. If you’re gonna do data work, then you probably won’t need C#. Software development? Web development? Then there’s a good chance C# or/and Java will come in handy. There’s a lot of other jobs that may use C# that I’m not aware of. Game development with Unity does use C# though. So basically, it depends on what kind of job you’re getting, and what you plan to build. Look at your areas job market and what their asking for with the position you wanna work as.

The aspect of understanding the concepts around programming languages would be more ideal to give you the ability to target any position. I.E. learn the basis of software development -- the concepts and ideas of how software is constructed. The language is just one part - and believe it or not -- most languages are quite similar. If you understand what is expected when designing algorithms and logic - you will have in mind how you want to put something together - and if you are not familiar with the chosen language - then just look for how that language handles what you are designing. In the end the language is the simplest thing to learn -- you will see very often employers asking if you know this tool, this API, AND this language. You will need to be comfortable with the tech and stacks being used by the company or present yourself as someone who will pick up what is required easily. This is a big problem with companies, in that they don't give flexibility to people who may not know the tech stacks AND languages being used. This is mostly because they think the TECH stacks and languages are the most important thing in the development process - and they are not. They are just a part. In general - sell yourself as someone who knows how to build software and will become competent in the tools that are being used. Not because you know them explicitly but because you understand the process of developing software products. Sell you ability to understand what it takes to build a product and what is required to build it. Then if you don't know the specific tools and tech being used - you can demonstrate that this is not a problem - and you will get to where you need to to get what is asked by you. This is my rant as after 35 years as a professional developer I've come to the understanding of what organizations look for and 99% of the time - they have no idea what should be looked for. Now this is not explicit to the software development community - you see it being a general perception of people who are making conclusions based on past experience and expecting that the right person knows what has been done / how it has been done. Which for me is not the correct way to determine if someone is capable. I tell many recruiters if I was looking for someone - and had a software engineer with 30 years of experience - but none with the tech being used -- and a developer / coder who has 5 years working with the tech (but just in an implementation aspect). I'll choose the engineer - because I want someone who thinks of how the product can/should be developed and will be an integral aspect in the development process. Some may disagree with this perception - but it's mine - and I'll stick to it.

for web it's as verbose as java spring boot.

$94,000 as average salary for C# developers -- what's your source ?

[@Daytay23]

Don't memorize. Google a lot, I mean a lot.

The REAL question that has to be asked about every language instead of "Is language xy hard to learn?" is something much more simple .... "Are there enough posts on stackoverflow so i can just copy&paste everything?"

You know C# is one of the most broadest languages. So please we need a video from you to tell us from your experience, what are the important topics that we need to learn and use in our job.

[@CoderFoundry]

Thanks for the comment. We will take a look at that idea for a future video.

[@ngreat4390]

Have an idea of all topics then find projects to build using specific topics. Then if you're going to a particular industry, find out what kind of problems they try to solve then know the topics they frequently used then build similar projects for your portfolio.

[@CoderFoundry]

Helen - you got it!!!!!

[@ngreat4390]

Coder Foundry 👆😁😁 I learnt all that today from watching your videos. I have gained so much more clarity, I was able to ask our instructors the right questions today in class and also request speakers who work in enterprise companies to come tell us what problems they solve with C# so we can have better insight into real life job requirements. As someone crossing over from a different profession, I really appreciate your insight, wisdom and frankness. Thank you!

[@CoderFoundry]

Helen - thats amazing! You're very welcome.Thanks for sharing your perspective. We're super glad we can help. Best of luck with the career switch.

The reason i wanna learn C# is because i’m bored and because i wanna make my own lil games.
