/prog/ - Programming

I've been learning c# for some time now and have never found a great guide for it. You'll probably want to use multiple sources to get the best results. I've never used anything for just learning VS itself, I just pick things up from using it for C#/C++.

This is alright if you want to learn basic syntax. It also has some quizzes and tests, although I can't speak for how great they are:

These two are more focused on Windows Forms, which is nice to know for learning the language but mostly obsolete compared to WPF these days. The videos also go a bit slow but aren't that long:

Are you willing to get actual books? Get Microsoft Press "C# Step by Step". requiresJust as a word of caution, the most recent editon focuses on Universal Windows Platform development with VS 2015 and Windows 10. If you only have Windows 7, you probably want to look for an earlier edition (from a quick search this may mean the 2010 edition; yes it uses VS 2010, but most things about the IDE will carry over and WPF is worth learning, probably more so than UWP).

I wouldn't use WinForms for developing commercial software, but it still works great and allows you to quickly throw together GUI applications, so it works great for personal projects and LOB programs. It also has the benefit over WPF of being supported by Mono.

Using IDEs like visual studio or meant to develope prototypes, getting a working program together quickly. But because of the generated code, it's better to develop 3 tier programs from scratch while using the prototype as a guide
