Oh, a dislike 40 seconds after upload on a 15min long video... Looks like I've acquired me a hater :D Enjoy

I know this video is over 3 years old, but I want to say thanks and it's still relevant. I'm taking an online class at a college and you are more helpful than the instructor. If I get a decent programming job when I graduate, I will donate something to your site.

This is really good. I have no programming skills and i've tried to learn C# from a few different video sources. Leave it to a 17 year old Danish kid to explain things better than anyone else.

Hi Brackeys, My name is Jordan Rakena and im currently a student from New Zealand.I just wanted to say thank you for your helpful and easy tutorials. I've understood alot and learn't alot. I'm abit slow at learning but im deeply appreciative of your tutorials that has helped me come along way.

This is just what I need. In my daily work I am a business information consultant, dealing with change requests on specific application functions. Some of them can only be modified by adding or changing a script inside the program. Thanks to this video I get a better understanding of the way this code language works.

Thank you so much for making these videos. I'm in a class where the professor just tells us to program something and gives us no direction, and does zero teaching. Then when nobody can do it he just does it for us without explaining things all the way. This is already putting so many puzzle pieces together.

Just saying, if any of you guys are hoping to use these tutorials for help with exams, I would study up on some of this terminology a bit deeper, the variable definition particularly stood out to me... The box idea is a brilliant analogy for casual programmers, but examiners don't want to see that on a paper.
Basically, a variable is a name that points to a location in memory (RAM).

Thank you so much for these videos, Brackeys! One of the only well paced tutorial series I could find haha ;D

I'm currently learning the C# language for Unity at school and a lot of work has to be done on our own time. My instructor pointed your channel out to me and I'm really glad he did. Thanks for these videos. Despite their age, it's helping the gears in my head turn.

This stuff is great. I'm a total beginner to ANY coding but slowly I am understanding with these lessons.

dude thank u for starting this simple and easy program u just earned yourself a faithful follower and i dont understand why anyone would dislike a video like this

A really good C# tutorial, every source I found was just like "to make stuff work just make it work lol", and finally there`s an actually good tutorial!

[MrNiceguy]

Thank your for breaking up the video and explaining what everything does. I didn't understand it too well, but when you told me to redo the code and make it into a dividing calculator, I managed to completely rewrite it. My first step XD.

[candycastle]

Console.Write("The result is: "); Console.Write("" + num01 ); Console.Write(" divided by ");
Console.Write("" + num02 ); Console.Write(" equals " + num01 / num02);

I came up with this mess all by myself, it can probably be simplified by a lot, but I'm so happy it works!

I've bought me a german book to learn programming in C Sharp.
But when it came to Converting I didn't get it.

And you showing how to do it was simply what I needed.

[sharkpyro]

are you going to continue this tutorial series? i swear i learned more with your videos than with tutorials in my native language, this is GREAT.

[AlwaysIllBlood]

For the purpose of doing accurate division i changed the variable to a float. Having it as an int rounded it to the closest number. Took me a little bit of trying but i ended up getting it. These little assignments are great.

[glutenfreeskeleton]

I'm a total newbie when it comes to this but you explain it very well! I can't believe you're only 17 you have so much wisdom

[edemaomega]

Hey Brackeys I just wanted to say thanks a lot for all the videos—you're my go-to source for learning Unity so far and I hope you realize what a major help you've been.

[skySofa]

loving to see someone to have the patience to explain things slowly instead of rushing away like many tutorials. Thank you so much. I've subbed and joined you page. you deserve it.

[reinathefox]

I'm on this episode, im in college, and my teachers entry level course has these sections in 2 hour lectures... thank you so much you are helping me set myself up for success.
