Hello forum members active in c#

[stefan nesic]

I am making this thread to introduce myself.
I am new to computer programming. I just succesfully
finished a introductory.course.in java programming.

I am.now starting a 6 month ( USA equivelant community
College) course in C#  programming.

Because the level of the c# course will be easy for me
( Judging from the expererience studying international business studies at that level some 15 years ago,
And it being. A part time course) I will also be studying a 6 month cyber security course simultaniously.

These three things are in preparation of starting a college education end of summer 2022.
Probably a ICT study.


Sorry to bore you with my life story, but you guys will be seeing me more often in the C# forum, asking for help.

Greetings,

Stefan

Good luck with your courses.

Good luck!

But the deadliest words in Information Technology are "All You Have To Do Is..."

Specifically, I would be a bit wary of saying C# will be easy. While it's easier than C++. C++ was its inspiration and C++ is widely considered to be one of the most vicious programming environments there are. So plan accordingly.

Damn right. It usually precedes the most difficult of tasks.

Damn right. It usually precedes the most difficult of tasks.

Unfortunately, it usually precedes everything. Especially unrealistic budgets and time schedules.

And unfortunately, even developers fall into that trap.

I had one particular boss that said it all the time and it was unpleasant to work like that.

"All you have to do is x, it shouldn't take long"

Expectations of implementation approach and timescales are now set up front by the person least informed to make them. It was an uphill battle from then on. Not only do you have to solve and implement a solution, but you now have to explain why it took you so long and why you thought their idea was garbage and had to do it a different way.
