So the examples in the programming books where you can download the source code and tinker around with it, is that any good? I guess it may help if i downloaded the source code for each chapter and then played around with it.
As for programming little stuff what would you guys recommend? I thought i knew the basic like int.Parse and TryParse but obviously not, have like a brain freeze embarrassing moment. Was doing abit of LINQ and found it good but little complicated at the same time.
Need to go back to basics and start playing about with code and stick to it so it sticks to this stupid brain of mine!
