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.
