Websites that step you through C# projects?

[Dougmeister]

I learn best by doing.

I.e., I can read a book or sit in a class, but it's when I have to actually sit down and type the code in that I learn best.

So can anyone point me to a few websites that might be geared toward this type of learning? You know, a C# project from start to finish? Maybe some dif't levels, starting at simple and working up to harder projects?

I have a programming background and experience w/ Microsoft products and even some .NET. It's just hard to be motivated on this project at the moment and I think this is what I need to kickstart it.

Thanks, all.

P.S. My latest project is a simple .NET web interface to
allow user input
to a SQL Server backend and
generate some reports,
so something along those lines would be IDEAL

Try http://en.csharp-online.net/CSharp_Articles

They have pretty good info on all things C# 2.0. They also have a list of book reviews... again, all the info is specific to C# 2.0. Learning the newer constructs in C# 3.0 will be trivial once you master C# 2.0.

Also, refer to http://www.asp.net/learn/data-access/ for data access tutorials [specific to ASP.NET]

Codeproject.com has a TON of free projects you can download and play with. Some are simple, some are complex, start where you want to.

Some are explained pretty well, others are not, so again, YMMV. They also cover a wide range of topics, so pick something you are interested in to make it more fun.

.net framework used to have a set of quick starts. Once you get past those (which doesn't take long) I'd say just jump in and find something to work with. Getting in and scrambling around with code always seems like the most rapid way to learn.

I think you mean the SDK, which is much larger than the framework itself. And last I checked, the SDK still came with several example projects.

That's what I'd suggest. Come up with your own project skeleton and use CodeProject articles to add meat to the bones.

You could also possibly make a little cash by taking a stab at that little make an image project.

Yes, I meant the SDK. There's also a platform/windows SDK with tons more stuff - not all of which is managed.
