Learning C# Advice.

Hello everyone.
Due to the covid19 and the current lockdown in my country (Argentina) i finally took a further step and i'm currently learning C# (Mostly interested in BackEnd, Desktop Software and Games). Even tho i tried to start with tutorials from GameDev.tv about Unity, stopped half way and decided to get into the language itself before going to Unity (hope it was a good decision)
I took the free april trial from PluralSight and been working on the C# Path from the Website.
Even tho i'm almost finishing the Scott Allens course, which sometimes i get difficult to get into, usually go to alternative websites to get a better grasp like (https://www.tutlane.com/, https://www.tutorialspoint.com/, https://www.completecsharptutorial.com/).
My goal was to try to finish some little projects, like a calculator, which already did. I even tried a few codewars.com exercises which sometimes i found out difficult to follow along.
Do you have any other advice for a beginner on what kind of projects or what kind of path should i take on for a better understand of the fundamentals of a language?? I'm willing to pay for a learning site, something than doesn't go like crazy on price.

Regards

Hernan

Welcome Hernan!

I think this is a great time to take some courses and build up your skillset! I've found PluralSight and CodeWars to be excellent resources for learning C#. The only additional one that I would recommend would be Codecademy. Their lessons are free, but you can get access to quizzes and additional materials by signing up for a membership. Here's the C# course:

codecademy.com/learn/learn-c-sharp...

If I think of any other resources, I'll be sure to throw them here.

It may be hard at first, but keep going! There will be a point where it will start to click.
