Hi,
If I were to give you only 1 piece of advice to learn programming - I would say this. Get your fundamentals absolutely rock solid before focusing on any technology - don't get swept away by all the hype. In short,
- Learn the C# language in detail - thoroughly. Understand all the constructs and concepts. There are many good books available - Jesse Liberty (Oreilly) is a good starting point. Also get your .Net fundamentals in order.
- Understand OOAD - Object Oriented Analysis & Design. I learnt it using "OOAD - by Grady Booch", till date it remains one of the best references. One warning - this is not one of the easiest of books which you can understand in 1 reading - but the efforts will help in the long run
Apart from this, you can check the below link which gives information on projects you can learn a lot from:
