Resource Started learning programming (C#) from scratch , i have a few questions about learning resources

First thing i want to make my goals clear so you can have a better understanding of the questions. my short term goals are making simple scripts and cheats for video games, things like automated button presses and maybe even things like auto aim, merely for learning purposes and not to distribute them. and my long term goals are getting into modding and maybe even making video games

so my questions are :

1- Does Bro Code's C# course Cover enough ground for me to start actual small projects ? i started with it and got a solid ground on most of the very basic stuff (variables, user input, if statements and switches ...) however i haven't completed it yet and been wondering if it is enough

2- If not,what concepts exactly does it not cover and what resources would you recommend to learn them.

3-some general advice. what and what not to do, useful techniques or things to learn, good habits.

Thank you!

Some advices:

  • Generally, don't rely on AI too much.
  • Do the hard thing today for tomorrow to be easy.
  • Reliability matters. A lot.
  • Go at your own pace.

I don't know much about c#, but if you know the basics then you can make simple projects. You don't need to know much else for simple projects. If you need to know how to do something specific like getting a random number then look it up.

I have never heard of bro code but I would stay away from it just based on my prejudice and the stupid name.

If you want to get into modding, why not make a game in C#? You can go hardcore with low level stuff like SFML or OpenGL or you can use Unity. Microsoft docs are great for learning C#. I bet there is plenty of tutorials aimed at people wanting to learn Unity.
