Want to learn more by practicing on own projects but need suggestions...

Question

Hi!

As the title says i want to learn more programming with c# by making my own projects but I don't know what i want to do since i'm a beginner I don't want to start a project that's, at the moment, out of my league regarding my current experience.

So for during my studies i've made a register console application that you could add characters, remove , show a sorted list of saved characters, remove characters, exit the program and search for characters by chosen search topic.

And now i'm working on a school project with winforms for making a simple game (choose to do connect 4), but my teacher provided us with the source code for a boardgame platform called flexie, but I feel like i won't learn as much if i don't make the program from scratch.

So I hope you have some suggestion for projects to learn how to use different operators and functions etc. that maybe help you understand c# programming more.

Thanks in advance!

Regards

Get to the VS site, click the Language then choose C#. You really have plenty of resources there:

The differences in the .Net framework are not so big. So it will be very good.
