    It depends what your goals are.

    If you already have programming experience and are just looking for something in particular that you need to do in c# the msdn or stackoverflow are great resources and can help you find syntax and api references.

    If you are looking to learn your first language and you randomly picked picked c#, then you might want to reconsider (and i've been a c# developer for 10 years).

    C# is great when you can afford to work on a microsoft stack. But remember c# doesnt port easily into other environments outside Windows (like linux or mac).

    Alternativley you can look into Java or php if web development is your goal.

    That being said if your still aiming for c# then

    http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C-Sharp-Fundamentals-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners

    or here

    The best thing is to get "an introduction to c#" book and read carefully and practice. There are very good books around. I prefer microsoft books.
    It is very important that you should read everything on that book. If you have an idea of every specific subject when you need you'll remember that "there was a such kind of thing".

    You can start from the basics of C# language and create some small applications.

    I would recommend learning some C# specific object oriented programming concepts. E.g. Classes and objects, inheritance, interfaces, generics, etc. Try googling "c# object oriented programming concepts" for some guidance.

    If you have basic knowledge about C and C++ than C# is very use to learn. You want to know about first topic of C# language. I would like to suggest you, learn OOPs (class, Encapsulation, polymorphism, inheritances).

    You need working with some example first, can be found on codeproject or google or work with simple example!
    ext: creat a simple project with button, if click on button then exit application!
    You creat done this project, maybe you know something about C# then keep working with any example you want.

    Step 1
    First, To start with C# you must have good programming skills. you should be good at c++ and fully understood the OOPS concepts like inheritance , classes,objects , Polymorphism etc .....

    Step 2
    If you are newbie as you said you should go for homelearn site that contains 17 chapters that will give you strong base for C#
    http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/csharp/csharp.html

    Step 3
    After these You should go for Database connectivity and I recommend you to do it by coding using
    1. Access Database
    2. Sql Database

    Step 4
    Then you should make small project using C# like maze game, calculator and Tic-Tac Toe game etc
    Then some major project like management systems .

    This way you can learn C# everything is on internet explore n explore

    You seem to be an educated fellow in terms of C#, do you have a source from which you learned it? For me right now its equivalent to giving a monkey a wrench :/

    I would advise to first go get visual studio express if you don't have it and then take some online tutorials.

    When I did my first courses in C# we would first learn how to handle data to and from a form, very easy with winForms in visual studio, things like getting the input from a textbox into a string in code. Then you can do simple things like handling the variable, we did a calculator for example.

    From there you can learn about whatever you think maybe useful, maybe add a webbrowser control to the form and learn how to get that to do things.

    You will never learn everything before doing your first big project, the best way to learn programming IMO is not to worry about all of the big words but to do small projects and plan to learn small bits of coding from each one, before you know it you will have learnt enough small things to put together to make something useful.

    I hope that helps.

    I forgot to add that Visual Studio express is free and there should be some great tutorials for doing the basics such as handling form controls and making a calculator etc. Think of what you want to do and then Google for the bits that you don't already know how to do.

    C# is very good programming language. If you want to learn C# then you must start from beginning. OOPs is very important concept of the any programming language.

    -OOPs (Object oriented programming System- Object, class, inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation)

    -You have to learn at least one database system like MYSQL or Sql server Or Oracle.

    -ADO (ActiveX database object).

    I am an author there, so I am slightly biased--but I do not have a C# course--you might want to consider checking out Pluralsight.
    There are thousands of courses that take you step-by-step through learning just about any technology you can think of.

    You should have a knowledge of syntax of c and c++ before going for c# programming it would be easier if you know the syntax and how to write code in c and c++

    Starting from basic OOP concepts than move further with other, you can easily get numerous online tutorials for beginners.

    You need learn about methods, lists, dictionaries, arrays, boxing/unboxing, convertions, reflection, database access, strings, integer, decimal operations, math. If you learn this all you are an expert.

    if you are beginner ,First you learn c++ with oops concepts like(class,object,inheritance,polymorphism ,data binding and data abstraction) and then go for c# language.
