It's the end of class and my mind is very, very mushy...
Plowed through a lot of stuff today, all of it having to do with Object Oriented programming concepts applied to C#. Initially, I didn’t understand why we were learning about fields instead of properties in our demo projects, though as time went on I began to understand the logic. Initially I was glad that we were skipping through the majority of the section example code and going straight to the labs, but I am beginning to remember why I never went after becoming a full-fledged programmer -- too many details to remember, and at heart I am not a details person.
Having said that, a lot of stuff is percolating through my grey cells, but I no longer expect at the end of it to say that I am a C# programmer. I will definitely know enough to work through code, understand the basics of what is going on, and likely even be able to alter existing code to some extent, but I am lost when told to do something from scratch. I also know that the more I practice, the better I get at a thing, so if I want to master this I will have to play with the code.
What this course is definitely good for is that I finally have the chance to learn the basics from somebody who knows what they are talking about, and our instructor definitely knows his stuff.
