Why learn coding when u have code generators all over the place...some lazy developer tells me so.

My best bet with coding has always been -
  • Know the syntax of the language and compiler instructions
  • Know how to use the IDE very very well that is if you want to use an IDE
  • Define a problem you want to solve or a project you want to work on
  • Start with the UI and continue coding
  • Everytime you hit a snag, research for a solution - in C# MSDN is still great
  • Continue optmizing the code and rewriting the methods in conformation to the language
At the end of this project you would have learnt alot and you will be ready to take on the books but this time you will start from page 200+ not from the hallo world 
 
regards,
Paul.

this is back! I've moved from books  and onto other books. Same story each time : not enough info or same method syntax that really is not what you want. All start with silly hallo world syntaxes that within a chapter or 2 is useless towards writing progs. Eg a good book I read so far ( IMHO ) is visual c# 2008 by John Sharp but by chapter 2 or 3 makes many assumptions. It is amazing how small the code portion becomes if you use correct method syntax and program flow. Why can't book writers use a standard convention of the best ways to write methods, then take it from there. A hallo world method with screen output has no place in this world! %^$%%!!!
 
Any online college or Uni offering a sane way to learn visual c# you could refer me to? Anyone... :-)
