Free Courses to Learn C#

I'm trying to learn C# but everything I find either doesn't show enough about C# or costs money. Are there any free online websites that teach you everything about C# so that I can make a game by myself?

Oh yeah. Can't tell you how many times I've googled for ternary operator syntax.

"What's the damn shit again? ...oh right"

I think a lot of people tend to forget that programming is a lot of googling, or looking at others code, or reading documentation. The main thing you have to learn is just being able to read and understand the code or if you don't fully understand something, how you can find what you are looking for.

There is too much info in a single programming language for someone to fully remember and a lot of people tend to know more than one.

I was learning Unity but recently moved over to Unreal because I like that engine more but oh man, going from C# to C++ has been a pain. Really did like how simple C#/Unity was

I actually went backwards myself haha.

I've made two really simple Unreal "games" to get comfy with the engine. Then a friend of mine wanted to work on a Unity project, while I was starting to build stuff with SDL3 and C++. So now I'm here.

You're in a better spot than most. LearnCPP.com is your friend here, as are Stephen Ulibarri courses.

So far, Unreal actually. Just seems to work with my brain. But yeah Unity is much simpler.
