- How do I learn C# well? What order should I learn it in? Are there other topics that I should learn after I learn the basics? What can I do with C#? If you have ever asked any of these questions, please know that you are not alone. I get these questions often. As we move into 2023, these questions are coming up more and more as people plan out the coming year and how they want to improve as a developer.
In this video, I am going to walk you through what you could be as a C# developer, what order to learn the various C# topics in, what your learning cycle should look like, some tips and tricks for learning C# well, and how you can do all of this as easy as possible.

20:20 I started to learn C# in 2011, and until now I have been coding using it for more than 8 years. This learning order is THE RIGHT ORDER that I never see universities in Asia teaching it!
You are awesome!
Thanks for sharing.
I won the Mastercourse in c# from Tims collaberation with MongoDB. I just recently finished the course and it helped me go from a employee in a low code development Project to a real software developer. The journey does not stop here and im truly greatful for all the content and advice from Tim.
Thanks for sharing!
Mind sharing how you won the class? It would be awesome to win a prize like this :).
MongoDB ran a giveaway when they partnered with my channel to create content around MongoDB.
@@IAmTimCorey sooo...that was one time only? :(
How long did the course take to complete, out of interest?
Man this is literally the best blueprint a dev could have. I’ve had my struggles over the years and I’m still learning but I think I may have to hit the reset button and start here. Thanks Tim !
Glad I could help!
I've been developing in C# and following your videos for a while. The advice about how to practice and the importance of pacing and scheduling is gold. Thank you for your good work. Your videos help me a lot in my journey :)
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for making this! Currently a CS student and the primary language we are learning in is C#. There are so many pieces you have laid out that will not be covered in school but will undoubtedly be expected by employers. Incredible guidance!
I am glad it was so helpful.
I’ve been a subscriber of you since I first learnt every single piece of this career path. I’m proud and happy when my first choice was C# and till now I’m still doing it well and keep learning new stuff, developing self skill with many many others intergrating system and tech stacks. And today, YT just suggested me this video and I just continuously watching the whole introduction of your vid, Tim.
Then I paused for a while to write this comment, I really like how it become clearer and clearer every time I go back to watch these fundamental or sharing about C#. Because the more I do the more I understand and the later vid is even better with your sharing experience through time. In the video I can feel your effort, the way you speak was coming right at what you felt. And the best part is you even talk slower and have more stop points, which is kinda easier and more exciting to listen and understand 😊
Just want to admire your passionate work and even I still havent watched all of your courses yet but I’ll do soon whenever I have time to learn ❤ Thank you for sharing and please keep up the spirit, Tim Corey 🙌🙌
I appreciate the kind words.
Always love your contents. Thank you for all that you do. Your hard work doesn't go unnoticed. You're appreciated!
I appreciate that!
no one has ever explained C# like this, awesome. thank man, you are a real teacher, and you have the perfect skills.
Thank you!
Hi Tim, I don't speak English very well, I started watching your videos and you really explain 10 times better than all the ones I've seen in Spanish, thank you very much. You have a new subscriber and follower.
Excellent! I am glad they are helpful.
English is the most spoken language in the world - it has the most knowledge
我的英语也不好，慢慢跟着听就行了😅加油喔

🤣
This is exactly the video I've been searching the net for. So glad I came across it. Thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
I am really excited to get back to learning C# Tim. I always love your advice, so true. This is a great video that really helped me get back on track. Thanks so much, Tim.
You are welcome.
Thank you for all your advise and hard work Tim. As an aspiring software developer your advise has been invaluable.
You are welcome.
Tim, you are a god.
Just the fact that you make all these guides and let them be available for free.
Thank you!
I am glad it was helpful.
Great Content!!! I was messing things up and seeing this video all the things are cleared up! Thanks Tim!!!
You are welcome.
Love this content Tim. I've been watching your videos to help me learcn C# the easiest as possible. Thanks.
Great to hear!
Tim, I’m so excited for this video!
Great!
Thanks a million for this Tim, as always, you are an inspiration to me. more power to your elbow!
You are welcome.
Mr. Tim Corey, it is what I want. Thanks a million for such kind of useful helpful tutorials. 👍 👍👍👍
You're very welcome!
Agreed, this is a good learning order. Thanks Tim!
You are welcome!
Just got notification at mid night 2:02 AM @ NZ and now I'm watching this awesome content, thanks Tim !
Entirely different topic, are you safe in NZ? Read some news about an attack on Indian people there.
Great!
Awesome content, thanks for your words Tim. Happy holidays
You are welcome.
I needed to see this, I'm learning C# and sort of know a little with OOP expects of it, but this video truly helped and didn't make me sleepy. HAHA
I am glad it was helpful.
Brilliant tutorial Tim. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Tim, many thanks for the huge amount of knowledge and practice advices that you provide to C# development. Do you plan to teach about WinUI and DDD as they are my actual interest. Thank you.
Thx Tim for your invaluable free resources !
You are welcome.
Thanks for everything)). Great roadmap!
You are welcome.
Good info. Sounds reasonable. I am a professional developer. I started with QBASIC back in the day (at 14 years old) and am totally self-taught. I've never taken a programming course. My current job is moving from legacy applications to C#, .NET, and Blazor, so here I am on yet another learning path.
Thank you for such great content. It's helpful! I can't afford any of the content mentioned but will be (and have been) taking advantage of your content on CZcams.
You are welcome.
Thank you for making this video, I've fallen off the programming wagon with just some front-end experience (not professionally) however as a middle aged junior it's been difficult, likely do to location on top of lack of work experience and knowing the right people in the field. Been looking at picking up C# and .NET again since it's been years since college and a stint with game development, and after seeing the learning path, I'm going backwards.
I've learned some cloud, Git, SQL, HTML/CSS/Javascript so I'll have to start from the syntax part and work my way back. My SQL needs a refresher though.
You are welcome.
Thanks Tim. I have been deleloper C++ withe sql but now I will stard learn again C#. You are very good teaching and easy to learn from this vdo.
You are welcome!
Hi Tim. Thanks for the video! Are you going to do a video to explain the "Free Way" as well?
Interesting, informative, and amazing content. Definite watch for people who are eager to understand to learn C# development pathway.
Thanks!
Thanks Tim....also wish u a very Happy New Year
You are welcome.
You're great man! thanks for your videos
You are welcome.
Always love your contents. Been a hobbyist developer for almost 35 years starting with Quick Basic :). Was wondering, in your youtube channel, is it possible to create the playlist for the topic you suggest in the learning order? That would be nice.
I have a C# Basics playlist and other lists that are specific to specific areas. However, it isn't really possible to put every video I do in order. I don't cover every topic and the topics that I do cover are sometimes in videos with other topics as well.
Thanks. I am not a "developer" (I'm in tech/cloud marketing), but have been working to build a functional working knowledge of these concepts so I can increase my credibility. Interesting thing is that I started my learning on the top row (Html, JavaScript, Azure, Docker, etc) since I was marketing web app tech. I tend to get stuck in my learning though b/c I lack an understanding of the core "language" and "logic". I had a hunch I needed to go back to a more basic level and this video confirms it. I think there are potentially many other non-developers who also struggle and get lost quickly because all the learning resources are geared towards developer mindset (and most toward web app developers). Curious to get your thoughts about whether this is the right level of content and depth for generalists who need an understanding of programming logic but who aren't actually working as developers.
That's hard because I'm not sure how to distinguish the two. So much of software development is built upon knowledge of previous topics. Learning at a high level is hard. However, I absolutely see the need for it. I am definitely interested in figuring out how I can help. If you can put together a list of questions, things that confuse you, and any things that have been helpful, that would help me better identify how to create resources to help non-developers understand enough to feel credible/competent. If you have any thoughts, please email help@iamtimcorey.com and Tom will pass it along. Thanks!
Great guide, dear Tim, keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
i've started really dipping into c# now, i tried following yout minimal api demo, but only later i realised how much i needed to leard OOP from scratch, will be coming back later to report the progress!
Sounds good!
Been waiting for this. I hope there’s more information to come Especially about being a .net developer
What would you want to see differently about a .NET developer, since a C# developer is a .NET developer?
Great information. Thank you Tim.
You are welcome.
love the thumbnail and video caller, much cool(or calm)
Thanks so much!
Your channel is a beacon of knowledge. Thanks!
You are welcome.
Awesome, easy going, easy understandable! lucky I found you!
I am glad it was helpful.
I'm a person who takes things slow in general. So, before I decided and began to learn C# a month ago, I made a research about the general concepts of programming. Then I chose C# because I'm interested in game development with Unity. I know the game programming side is a bit more different than your, say, desktop app programming side, but I started with learning the Syntax first, all my variables, statements, methods, arguements, loops, arrays etc. and then I started building simple console apps (things like short text based games where you get to make a choice, and something happens based on the decision) which sometimes didn't work. I tried to debug and made them work. It seems I am on the right path, and this video is just a verification of that. Thanks! ^^
You are welcome. This summer, there will be a lot of content coming for Unity-specific software development, so hopefully that will be of help as well.
Thank you for this valuable information. I'll be taking your learning path. Hopefully the fact that I already know other object oriented languages facilitates the process a bit.
It should. It will be helpful to understand how OOP works when going through those sections in C#.
This was an awesome teaching professor. Thank you so much, it was so helpful.
You are welcome.
Appreciated for the sharing sir.
My pleasure.
thank you sir for sharing your experiences and knowledge.
You are welcome.
This a masterpiece of a video for beginners and intermediate level people, thanks for making it.
You're very welcome!
Thank you for the advise! if your courses was not so out of my budget I would have completely join it! I subscribed and liked the video so show some support. Really enjoyed your video.
Thank you!
Even as already c# developer those videos are nice since they help to reflect on things you already know :D
Thanks for sharing!
Great video, thanks for sharing
You are welcome.
You really encourage me. I´m still new interacting with this programaming language and I found it very interesting, thanks Tim!
You're very welcome!
@@IAmTimCorey I´m trying to develop a game that can be executed in the navigator using blazor. Do you thing that is posible?, I readed that blazor can be executed too in the navigator like JavaScript and has a comapatibily with him. I would like to include some funtionalities like chat online between players an many others things.
I have huge respect for this guy.
Thank you!
This is not only for education. This is also for our day-to-day life. Thank you so much. God blessed.
It's my pleasure.
This is an incredible video thanks!
You are welcome.
Really great content, thank you!
You are welcome.
Thanks for the content!

You are welcome.
Learn one thing well.Good advice , spacial space in heaven.Thanks this course make sense.
You are welcome.
Thank you so much for this informative video. I am still struggling in this learning journey and this video was so helpful. I won't give up!
I am glad it was helpful.
very amazing video
Thank you!
Wow amazing topic in this video thanks
You are welcome.
sir for your effort the way you teach and explain i just say lots of love and respect .......... hats up to you professor
You are welcome.
23:38 Regarding practicing the simple stuff I think good practice is to break even simple examples and see which errors you get, why and when. Understanding error messages can be an art form in some languages.
Thanks for sharing!
Always Excellent
Thank you!
Can I please request a tutorial on design patterns (covering all of them which are needed), thank you for all the helpful content which is really knowledgeable and helpful!! Thanks a lot!!
Thanks for the suggestion. Please add it to the list on the suggestion site so others can vote on it as well: suggestions.iamtimcorey.com/
@@IAmTimCorey I couldn't login in with my phone from this link but I would suggest the same Design Patterns
It is very good effort that you spend to prepare this video for 2023 ahead
Thanks!
Your paid courses have been the best investment ever, I am amazed by how much is being covered and its quality, and Tim you were born to be a teacher aside from being a developer
Thank you! I am glad they have been so helpful.
@@IAmTimCorey Best investment ever, I confirm also.
Que conteúdo excelente. Muito obrigado.
You are welcome.
Finally find you Tim, I have been Searching for someone being sincere, honesty and most important how to learn , when to use different syntax, when to use debugging! Man I wished I did not buy all this useless Udemy courses ! Being stuck in tutorial he’ll for 3 years now ,, 🤔 mastercourse with Tim in c#? Must find that 😊
Thanks for the kind words. I can definitely understand where you are coming from. I've been there too. The C# Mastercourse, along with all of my other courses, can be found at www.iamtimcorey.com/
Just when I was about to accept the fact Santa skipped my house again this year, TimCorey drops another duece of wisdom through the chimney.
Guess a man his age doesn't See Sharp.
Happy holidays dude.
I'm glad it will be helpful. Ho ho ho.
Best!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks you this is video very useful to me
You are welcome.
Thx ❤
You are welcome.
Tim, I am focused on learning Unity. I'm learning C# for unity game development purposes. I already know and work professionally in SQL. I'm 44 and not looking to really develop my employability. What path would you reccomend? I also went to college for coding. I think I can shortcut a lot of things that I already understand.
Avalonia is where it's really at! Over the past couple of years, it has quickly matured to near the level WPF with several cross-platform Apps using it in production, including a couple of Jet Brains tools and Lunacy, a sophisticated vector drawing tool, Lunacy. It works across all major platforms, Windows, iOS, WebAssembly Linux and MacOS with native UI elements. It's going to make .NET Core, the defacto language for desktop and mobile development. It's way ahead of .NET MAUI in maturity and platform support.
I suggest you seriously consider covering it in your videos. AngelSix has done a series of popular tutorials on it where he builds an application from scratch. Just a suggestion.

Thank you for all the free content you provide Tim!
Looking at purchasing your on going courses, but wondering your thoughts....
I am a full time developer for past 30 years or so (I know right??!) - looking for something to stay current on new features as well as maybe fill in missing gaps.
I am responsible for and work daily on a LOB production app that supports about a thousand users, so it is pretty legit.
I get to do less and less actual coding the later in my career I get since I spend more time managing projects and others vs staying current and hands on.
We all code in the way we know, but I am sure there are better ways of doing some things that I do daily.
Thanks!
It sounds like you are on the right path here. The C# Mastercourse will give you the modern training you need and help you fill in the gaps. The other courses in the path will as well.
@@IAmTimCorey -- thank you for the reply, I was not sure how 'updated' it was. Things move SO fast!
There is so much new stuff in 10 let alone 11.
I will take advantage of your courses being open again before the EOY and sign up for it.
thank you sir
You are welcome.
Tim, I adore the vids you make. Please, if you could, suggest some books ranging from beginner to advanced. Reading helps me learn things better. I'm grateful.
C# books are really hard to recommend because they go out of date so quickly. That's why video is typically a better platform for learning programming.
Thanks Tim You cleared my doubts I am a beginner and I was afraid as you mentioned what to do with C# ? You can be a Web | Win| Frontend | Backend | developer Great! I was thinking I was on the wrong path but you showed the right way in the right direction. Soon I will be also a good developer.❤
You are welcome.
Great video Mr. Tim, earned my subscription. I am an automation engineer, doing mostly PLC and HMI programming. As an amateur C# developer, I am constantly trying to improve it. I have written only dozen simple applications for now and they are doing what they are supposed to, but I think my code is ugly. I put most of my code on one place, methods all over the place, global variables...I am sure you know what I am talking about, since I saw in one of your videos how you taught us to create classes and put them into Class Library. Do you have more of those videos that show better organization of a code structure? For example, when I am building a WPF app, all my methods are in MainWindow code and I hate it...Cheers
I do have quite a few examples, although not a video specifically saying "here is the way to structure things". I might do one of those, although it will change as the project changes size and shape.
@@IAmTimCorey Thank you for the reply. I will try to figure it out from the code displayed in your videos and pay extra attention to the organization.
Immense gratitude from all lost souls.
You are welcome.
Thanks
You are welcome.
Tim thank you for putting these amazing videos, you are doing so much for the community. I really liked how you laid out this video, but I have been struggling with taking my skills to the next level. I work with SharePoint, and I know all the above topics, I know how to do a lot of things, but I don't feel that I am an expert in any of these topics.
For the modern developer/software engineer what are some things that I need to take to the next level (Microsoft Stack)? what is some software engineering concepts that I should Improve to be better software developer?
any recommendation to one of your courses that can help me with my question above
I would recommend practicing. Instead of adding more skills that you will also not be an expert in, do more practice and create practice projects to go deeper in the skills you have. The Prove It series will help, as will the TimCo Retail Manager series or the Suggestion Site App series.
@@IAmTimCorey Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it. I will definitely start practicing more and will look at both series you mentioned above.
i am a 10 year old . I want to make games and learn coding .I have the basics of c# and i think your course could help me even more
You are definitely getting a good jump on things! Well done.
@@IAmTimCorey thank you
Huge fan Tim, Please make a video about constructor in C#.
Thanks for the suggestion. Please add it to the list on the suggestion site so others can vote on it as well: suggestions.iamtimcorey.com/
I agree. As an experienced software developer, I dislike all the buzzwords: Just show me what the words mean and the value that the stuff brings me.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
cool video)
Thanks!
In conjunction with Tim's emphasis on don't get distracted, I am here to distract you guys to learn F# it is a wonderful language. Cheers
😂
Hi Tim thanks for this great content.. are you offering any new years discounts for your master course?
No, I'm not, but the All Access Pass Monthly edition is open. You just don't get the bonus material for the C# Mastercourse or Web Development Mastercourse.
Hi! Tim. Any recommendation on what to take next with your other courses after finishing the C# Mastercourse? Thank you!
This video shares what courses to take next in order after the C# Mastercourse.
Hello Tim, This is a great video on the learning path, Could I please request to make similar video for an C# SDET, i know the starting area of syntaxes, debugging and OOP would would be same in learning c# as explained in this video, But when it comes to SDET, There'll be a lot of other points and areas to learn and practice in order to successfully be ready to automate any of the developed software - which would be helpful for many of us under software Quality Assurance.
Thanks for the suggestion. Please add it to the list on the suggestion site so others can vote on it as well: suggestions.iamtimcorey.com/
Noted ☺️
👍🏻
I’m an old school PHP web dev but I came here because I was considering learning C# for hobbyist game dev in Unity or Flax… but I think I might just stick to using the Godot game engine.
I don’t need all this multi-layered corporate cruft in my life. I have enough of that to deal with at work 😂
This is a very good video though, and I still found it helpful - the learning process it describes can be applied to any language, framework or platform.
I actually have some Unity content coming this summer. I'll be teaching the needed C# topics that are focused on what Unity developers need.
I need to start saving and just invest in your mastercourse...
Might take a bit of time, but it's definitely something I want to do! In the meantime, I'll have to stick to free tutorials I can find to get started :)
Sounds like a plan. I've got a lot of free tutorials to help you out as you get started. Then C# Mastercourse will definitely be a big help in launching you forward faster when you are ready and able.
I am definitely going to invest in the C# mastery and the Web mastery courses . I just have one question what tool can I use to measure my progress. I needs something to quantify my progress. Maybe that would be a good project to build. Thank you Mr. Tim
Keep track of what you learned. Put it in an Excel spreadsheet. That way you can look back on all the things you have accomplished rather than just at the mountain of things you still have to do. In my courses, you get this automatically by seeing how much progress you have made through a course.
This is perfect for self-learners. Thank you!. I am an artist trying to learn C# so it would be really helpful if you can make a similar video for artists working in unity and wanting to learn C#. it's a niche but It's a huge niche.
You are welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it. Unity coverage is coming later this year.
Seconding this request! I'm a UI artist trying to broaden my skillset and I'm really not sure if I need to learn all of this or not.
Unity C# is obvious, but more important is the structure and execution order of event functions.
I don't know if a non-game developer can provide or teach on this topic.
I'm currently using chatgpt but when I have a problem I spend too much time explaining my problem :))
And if I get an answer, I don't know if it's the best solution from the side of C# and Unity itself..
Hey Tim, really appreciate this video with deep and insightful thoughts in it. Until when will the Monthly All-Access Pass be open for us to enroll?
Asking because I am trying to optimize my budget, not a lot of students from 2nd world and 3rd world countries can afford the Yearly All-Access Pass.
Enjoy your holidays! 🎄
Understandable. The All Access Pass monthly edition will be available through January 3rd.
30:30 In the part of 'Tips and Tricks' , the second tip describes me a lot :) Jump one to another. But I have ADHD so those things are always flashy and attractive to me
I understand and can relate.
