I ended up LOVING C# as the course went on. Bob did a very thorough job of explaining some fundamental concepts I had trouble prior in my VB programming course. .

I found this large set of videos to be really quite helpful when I was a complete beginner

Very pleasant guy who takes time to explain those small details many miss. Highly recommend his tutorials on C#.

This one is pretty old. But if you download the older version he is using and run through the course, you will learn the basics. Then switch to the newer version.

The online tutorials that I recommend you use is, Channel9 msdn ,C# Fundamentals, this is a very good online instructional video that starts from beginner topics in C# with each video building on each other until you get to the intermediate topics.
