how are you guys doing im committed to learn how to code ive started with a few C# tutorials from New Boston but its very like un fun i like actually talking and making more progress then making edits on a button and also theres 200 videos O_O on C# so if anyone Thats IF anyone can help me and guide me along to the way of C# fantasy land that would be muchly appreciated and i will repay them

ps Very Committed will work on C# at any time AFTER school that is -.- school if anyones in school you know what i mean

pm me and we can begin this coding Adventure xD

The first step is stepping on your own.
You won't learn anything if you piggyback off someone else.

Maybe this will help you though:

Yours is Conquer limited only lul. He shouldn't even think about Conquer programming, before he understands the language and the way to design and code proper applications and programs.

Wtf? Rofl! Those tips are based on me learning VERY basic C++. I just use Conquer and C# for some of the examples. It's not limited at all. :facepalm: It applies to ALL software engineering.

How is it related to C++ at all? Lmfao.

C++ is a language tied in with software engineering. How is it not? Are you being serious right now? You read it... right? My article is about how you approach problems in software engineering.

I meant the article. It's not related to C++ at all, not even mention one time. Not saying it was a bad article, was just saying an opinion. Now let's stop getting off topic.

I would, but I've tried teaching someone C# before and I ended up pumping him full of more information than he could handle, and gave him really tough projects, so he gave up. That's honestly the only way to learn... power through and teach yourself, no matter how long it takes or how difficult it is. If it were easy, everyone would know it.

Oh, by the way, I didn't teach him anything conquer-specific. First project was to make a simple calculator, second was to parse and process a file. He gave up on the second one. Plus, I'm a terrible teacher.

Edit: Also I'd recommend starting with C++. It'd make you a better programmer overall. Compare it to learning how to drive a standard first, then buying a car with an automatic transmission.

To be able to code a server you don't have to go through Windows Forms tutorials or GUI tuts... you have to learn the basics(types, declaring vars, using vars, arrays, going through an array, buffers(an array actually but you learn how to manage it for some certain purposes), sockets, threading. ((edit) + file processing)

Beside that you also need math, in case you are not a math's friend you shouldn't even bother going into programming at all... Without math you can't do anything graphical or even a simple attack formula.

You also need to learn how to understand a piece of code, what it does, without even running it.

Most of all, my favorite of all, learn to debug, and don't bug people for something you didn't even bother in trying to fix yourself. I, myself, hardly asked people when I was just a beginner(maybe cuz I didn't have many contacts in my msn, though, I didn't come here either to ask "can you fix my code!? plx plz". In case you did debug and still don't figure it out, ask for help, people will be more than glad to help. -- Learn trial and error.

Good luck.

To be honest, very little requires *advanced* math in programming (especially not in a conquer p-server - just basic algebra)... Having a strong math background helps a lot, but it's not necessarily required.

Being able to think logically about a problem is way more important than maths, especially since you can just google the solution to a math problem, you cant google a solution to think more logically.

Generally speaking I believe when people tie Math in with programming, they're referring to the Physics-side of math -- looking at you're givens, and your problem and then finding a way to compute the answer. Not the math generally taught in schools today.

While I can only talk on behalf of Ontario (a province in Canada) I find it staggering the amount of people who have high 90's in math, but then shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to physics. What does that say? Well, math is being memorized where as physics forces you to actually... think.

Anyways's tid-bit tl;dr from a convo. I had with a Waterloo prof. --
Learn any object-oriented language, you know them all.
Learn any functional language, you know them all.
Mastering the paradigm is mastering the language.
