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:

    I don't have any specific recommendations but I do have a lot of game development experience with C# in and out of a Unity context. If you've got game dev questions or need help with code, you should DM me.

      Thank you will do, I'm going to have a shot at Unity properly after I've had a go with C# doing mods for Stardew Valley, I'm sure I'll run into roadblocks I'll need advice for.
