Often enough, I find that one of the best ways to learn a new language is to assign yourself with a subject. A video game is a perfect choice. Here's why. A video game is usually a diverse compilation of: logic, I/O, variables, graphics and sounds. These are 5 key ingredients to almost any piece of contemporary software. Logic exposes you to all the general syntax, such as: IFs, FORs, DOs etc ... IO (input / output) requires dealing with things such as the keyboard and mouse. Graphics on the other hand exposes you to the implementation of APIs (big part of desktop programming) Same story for music & sounds. Conclusion: I actually made that game to cut my teeth on .NET
Making video games is a great way to learn how to program.
