A short, up-to-date starter plan that builds on the replies here: many posters were right to push an IDE, books and videos (thanks to , , and ). For a clean, modern workflow: install the current .NET SDK, pick an editor (Visual Studio on Windows or Visual Studio Code cross-platform), then learn by building very small programs and iterating. The official C# guide collects short tutorials and learning paths that work well for beginners. (learn.microsoft.com)

Quick hands-on route (30–60 minutes):

  1. Install the .NET SDK for your OS.
  2. Pick an editor: Visual Studio for full Windows GUI support, or VS Code with the C# tools for cross-platform work.
  3. Create and run a console app from a terminal to see the whole cycle quickly:
mkdir MyFirstApp
cd MyFirstApp
dotnet new console
dotnet run

Those commands are the dotnet CLI way to create and run a C# project; the install and CLI docs explain options and templates. (learn.microsoft.com)

What to study next (practical order): language basics (types, control flow, methods), simple classes/objects, collections and LINQ, exception handling, then async/await and unit tests. Use the debugger from day one to step through examples and fix logic—that teaches faster than just reading. The Microsoft C# pages provide short tutorials that map to these steps. (learn.microsoft.com)

Troubleshooting & small-project advice: start with a console calculator or todo app (as others suggested) and then convert it to a GUI or web app. If VS Code’s IntelliSense/OmniSharp misbehaves, check that the C# extension and a compatible SDK are installed; the C# extension repo/doc shows common fixes. Prefer current .NET SDK templates over very old Visual Studio tutorials. (github.com)

Get visual studio 2008 express edition at www.visualstudio.com for free (you will be charged by the connection client though) and do the tutorials on the application and you'll be coding in no time

Reading books is good but slow.

I am an absolute beginner too and after long time of searching for really good sources -
I found these videos that dramatically helped me to learn faster and more efectively.

actually those videos are pretty good yonderboy I would recommend them too. However I do think there is an enormous amount of value in reading a good beginners book.

Once you download the IDE
click on file tab
select new project then a windoes pops up
then select what kind of application you want to make like windows application or console application.
lets start with windoes application, once you slect it name the application
then a form appears on the screen .
then starting playing with all the tools.,,,,,,
