Hi all. I've been wanting to get into programming for a while now, specifically C#. However, I am not good at self-study or self-guided learning. Are there any good textbooks/workbooks that you'd recommend to learners of C# as a first programming language? I have some experience with coding, but not much more than simple command-line calculators (due to aforementioned lack of self-teaching skills).

To clarify, I'm looking for a straightforward textbook where I could read a chapter and do the associated "exercises" (for lack of a better word)

 

Hey, I've been looking to learn Python for a while, tried as a kid but got bored before I did anything. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good Python self-study workbooks? The ones with exercises in addition to theory. I'm using Mint, in case that brings up any IDE issues.

 

Hey, I've been looking to get into C# programming for a while now, and self-teaching and free internet resources haven't really worked for me. Are there any programing workbooks that you've used to learn C#? I'm using Linux Mint if that affects which IDEs I would be able to use.

 

I am needing to transfer a singular file of roughly 4.8GB from Linux Mint onto a thumb drive, so that I can transfer it to my Windows install on a separate partition on the same PC. However, it has repeatedly failed after 4.3GB, with an error message reading "Error splicing file: File too large".

How do I fix this issue, or get around it? I need that file moved.

EDIT: This issue has been resolved. It was caused by the thumb drive being formatted as MSdos, reformatting it to exfat seems to have done the trick. Just used right-click "format" on linux mint, no need for console or booting up windows.

 

I'm looking for an app to browse YouTube using multiple accounts. It has to be convenient to switch between multiple accounts, and keep them separate. I've struggled to find a YT client that does this well, most of them seem to advertise "Use YouTube without an account". I'd look on the app store but frankly the play store sketches me the fuck out, even though google has a "moderation system" (we all know how well they keep malware off the platform)
