C# practice / learning programs

So, I am learning C# at school and so far it is pretty easy.

I can't think of any programs that I would like to make (I'm not very creative) so I was wondering if there is a good place to find basic programs I can try to create or if any of you have ideas for something. I just want to build a solid foundation of the basics, before I move on to GUI and stuff. I just find I learn better struggling with programs rather than reading books / websites or listening to my prof.

So far I just have basic knowledge of console stuff, loops, methods and I am starting to figure out objects.

Re: C# practice / learning programs

Sorry, but I think you should study before making anything serious. It does not matter how smart you are, the experience of the few decades of programming cannot discovered just ``struggling with programs''. Read a nice design pattern book.

And anyhow, if you ask here at least try to use a language that is posix friendly.

Even though I'm not a big fan of C#, as always http://projecteuler.net/ is the place to go for testing your skills with new languages.

I didn't say anything serious. Small projects are great. I have been doing some simple calculators and stuff. It doesn't need to be longer that 50-100 lines.

You could try making a simple program to cipher text with ROT13.

Re: C# practice / learning programs

I would second linkmaster03 there. Also, do you happen to use IRC? I find writing a really simple IRC bot is a good way to learn the basics of a language since you are generally touching on sockets and string handling, and possibly threading and arrays and other such stuff. Good luck either way smile
