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

Paul.
