I hope you have at least Pro. If not you can get it from here - https://www.dreamspark.com/ All you need is a .edu account

I have 13 Pro i believe. Got windows 8 from dreamspark as well. Love that shyt. Out of all IDEs id rate them as VS>Xcode>Netbeans
Im still an extreme newbie though. I need a mentor cause this shyt I'm learning in school will likely not get me a job...

Probably the best way to learn is to pick out an app you would like to and go make it.

Here's a good site if you want to look at .NET open source projects - https://www.codeplex.com/

Most books just have you type in commands and try to explain it. I recommend this book ( ) since It's project based. You build apps throughout the book.

here's a book with a good combination of learning to program & Game programming

and



and you can always ask questions in here.

Those project books sound exciting. Ill check them out.
Planning on making a checkbook type balancing app for personal use just for the experience.

List<String> oWords = new List<string>();

//C#
            oWords.Add("one");
            oWords.Add("Two");
            oWords.Add("orange");
            oWords.Add("Hello");
            oWords.Add("Games");
            oWords.Add("Blender");
            oWords.Add("Jumbo");
            oWords.Add("coli");
            oWords.Add("Gold digger");
            oWords.Add("Tomorrow");
            oWords.Add("Java syntax is sorry, C# is better");
            oWords.Add("Balto");
            oWords.Add("Baltimore");
            oWords.Add("Dojo");


            foreach(var oLocation in oWords) 
                 // Search from the beginning and in reverse.           
                if (oLocation.IndexOf("o") == 0 || oLocation.LastIndexOf("o") == oLocation.Length - 1)
                    Console.WriteLine("{0} \n", oLocation);

Looking at yall code reminds me of why I dislike Java syntax.lol

# Python Life #

oWords = []

oWords.append("one")
oWords.append("Two")
oWords.append("odysseus")
oWords.append("Hello")
oWords.append("silkk the shocker")

oWords.append("Jumbo")
oWords.append("coli")
oWords.append("obietrice")
oWords.append("python da goat")
oWords.append("Dojo")
oWords.append("gianna michaels")
oWords.append("hobo")

for word in oWords:
    if word.startswith('o') or word.endswith('o'):
        print word

yeah you'll want to get that vs 2013 step by step book. I think it has tutorials close to that

hah. I tried to +rep you. The python pluggin for Visual studio is pretty good.

It actually is decent. I was very surprised.

To the programmers: how many deep complicated algorithms do you use? For instance, I'm trying to wrap my head around the knapsack problem, but the way they explain it in math terms is making it difficult for me to grasp

 

[semtex]

You can do so much shyt in visual studio

 

[kevm3]

c# and javascript actually look a lot a like. I think I'll continue with my c# studies after I really get this Javascript and possibly php under hand.

 

[kevm3]

BTW where are my fellow Javascripters? Seems like everyone else is doing Java or C#

http://sqlsaturday.com gonna be in my town saturday, anybody ever went before?

Breh I haven't touched C#/Java etc. since I've been in the BI world and I think I done forgot how to program in those languages

I may open up VS 2013 this weekend just to see if I still got it...

Yep. You might meet some good connects there. You may also learn some good tricks with the language as well.
