I just started learning C# 3 days ago in order to make some SMAPI mods for Stardew Valley ('SV'). I've never coded before, and just started with the C# beginners course on YouTube that was suggested in the SV SMAPI guide.

I'm wondering:

  1. What are some good free or cheap resources/tutorials you've used for learning C#/coding in general?; and

  2. Suggestions for good languages/your favourite language which I should try out after I've gotten some idea of C#.

The ultimate goal after just moding is to make a game in similar scale to SV with my mate — it's going to being a life sim/tactics game with similar mechanics to the first two GBA Fire Emblems.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, beautiful comrades :jeb:

    You sound like you've been on a long and difficult journey comrade :sankara-salute: .

    I'm still interested in having a look at C++ at some point in the nearish future, but I'll have a shot at Rust before I do that, the concept of ownership sounds interesting -- at least from what I'm reading in the defiiniton section in the guide on rust-lang website.

    And thanks, I'm taking this a step at a time, this is the first time in a while I'm learning something that I think about while I'm at work and want to race home and do -- actually kind of wild how much this has swept me up tbh.
