Working on skills by building a program from scratch.

Hello all! I've gone through some workshops and books and did the quizzes and exercises, however I'm looking for ways to apply what I'm learning here. Specifically related to C#, what are some recommendations on applying OOP principles and intermediate C# skills from a blank slate? Is there a smart starting point? How do you pick something to build that isn't too easy, yet also not endlessly complicated?

Dear Spence Learning programming is a long journey. It needs a lot of patience to study and the right tools. TreeHouse is a good start but to understand the object-oriented programming very well you need to practice more and more. You can ask about the C# question here I will love to answer.

Really depends on your level of C# programming(met newcommers that either overestimate their capabilities or underestimate them). I suggest to start small like a simple registration application and practice CRUD functionality(Create, Read, Update, Delete) Using list object and create a model for a book with maybe title, author and publisher. you can also try and add a collection that maybe keeps track on each category, genre, author etc. you can also try and practice overrides for ToString() standard method.
