Hello Terol,

Well if you are like me who is learning C# and still learning (i am still trying to get down OOP myself) the next thing i would want to learn with C# is SQL since you can put these two powerful languages together using LINQ, or maybe XML, well thats what i would learn next but its up to you, hey can you message me and give explain more about objects/classes/properties/fields etc, i still need the understanding or concept of them including more, i guess you can say i need a tutor on this since it is the main thing that makes C# a great language.

Make some programs. When you don't know how to do something - voila, learn it.

I agree with Xav. Writing code is the best way to learn. It will force you to learn more commonly used classes/namespaces as well as helping you become more comfortable with the syntax and symantics of the language. As Siten said SQL is a powerfull programming tool to have in your belt for data storage and always worth learning. Try to make yourself a client booking application using XML or SQL for data storage. This can be a good challenge and is the most applicable thing I can think of for a C# programmer to be. Good luck with the learning curve.

If you keep writing programs, eventually you'll be able to code anything you can think of. Keep at it! And don't forget to pick up some milk as well. ;)

Databases, be it SQL or XML (or ADO.NET), are always a plus. Learn them, I say! Learn them!

SQL hasn't completely monopolized the database concept yet!? wow... I'm actually shocked to hear about XML, and ESPECIALLY ADO on a programming forum... ADO was used a lot in VB6 days.. but..

Not at all. XML is great, and very portable. Excellent for transferring data across the web.
