RE: C# Programming Beginner Tutorial: Basic Concepts and Ideas
not an "easier" language to learn. i've been trying to get into coding. my friends suggest front end javascript first as a beginning roadmap. I have limited experience, but I told him " I want to learn python first because it looks simple." He told me not to go for back end because of it's expertise level.
Thank you for the tips.
I'm looking forward to your future posts. Hoping for the best.
I learned C++ for my first language. I am thinking you would consider that back-end. I feel it doesn't matter where you start. Some people just don't see coding the way others do. For me, it is like a puzzle with pieces that fit together.
I moved from C++ to Java and it was really easy to switch over. Syntax is very similar. Can't say I have done much front end work to compare though.
hey bro, thanks for you're input. You are right, everyone does have a different learning style that can work for them.
I have been receiving mentorship from a friend and all of ya'll here.
I can understand that. I chose to explain C# because it's what I do for a living, so it's in my wheelhouse. Not an expert by any means, but I think with 5 years physical coding experience at a workplace gives me some level of expertise, at least as it pertains to the systems that I connect to.
I like dotNet because, as you code, you can enter the variable and then just hit the period key and (depending on the IDE of choice and settings) see a listing of the extension method options that are available. I think C# is a nice entry because of the straightforward nature (it's much like dotNet BASIC as well).
On a side-note, I'm looking at next year to start learning Python and Ruby on Rails (Ruby is used in-house and Python is supposedly simple and powerful).
I appreciate the feedback and look forward to talking to you further!
Thanks.
Intellisense is a feature of many development environments these days. I remember seeing it in Eclipse Java IDE and I think last time I wrote some JQuery it was even there too. My memory is a bit hazy and it's been a while tho.
So with Intellisense on those non-dotNet-style languages, is it basically predictive type suggestions then? I have limited experience with Java in any form and haven't looked at it seriously in a couple years.
It's not really predictive in any kind of intelligent way. Intellisense gives you a drop list of options and you can do an auto-complete based on the letters typed.
The list narrows the more letters you type.
Yeah that’s what I was describing as a predictive type suggestion... not really predictive so much as just filtering to the next alphabetic option. I use this in the combo box lists and such that I use.
I’m just not sure with Java what triggers the Intellisense (dotNet it is the period or just straight typing).
