Lua to C#

This is slightly OT…

I’ve gotten pretty proficient with Lua through the development of my games (TribbsHD…coming soon!). However, I need to learn C# for a grad school course. Has anyone else done this? I know it’s somewhat backwards from the path most people take, but I’d be grateful for any resources that would help a Lua programmer learn C#.

Thanks!

I’ve never used c# but if its anything like c, which i’m sure it must be, then hilarity will ensue. :smiley:
completely different language than lua. you are in for a treat!
My advice would be to forget everything youve learned about lua while tackling your course.
I would start off from scratch with c#, I assume you have a prescribed text… read it and DO all the exercises and samples yourself. One thing I know is that when learning a new language, copy pasting makes it harder to learn. Any parts you are unsure of… google why they are used. I got tripped up by namespaces in c when I did it undergrad after programming in pascal for years.
C is a typed language, so make sure you understand all the differences. Using the right integer type is an art:)
Very best of luck to you, if you have any questions on anything, if you get stuck and don’t know where to find an answer, send me an email. inno@ghost.net.nz . I’m more than happy to at least give you a sounding board. Ive been programming in a lot of different languages, and I’m amazing with google :stuck_out_tongue:

Languages used : Basic, Pascal (delphi), Html, javascript, php, mysql, c, c++, java, lua, haskell, perl
