I know my Uni teaches C# as a learning language. This is at first year degree level "Introduction to Programming". The module does not assume anyone knows programming.

I don't know if you are looking for paid type things but here is a pretty decent place... http://www.learnvisualstudio.net/

You can also find their stuff for free on MSDN, although I lost the exact links long ago you can cruise around and find good stuff.

Edit:: Almost forgot you can download a free IDE for C# (as well as all the other Visual Studio products) here...

hi

i'm from belgium and c# is being taught here in many colleges and universities. usually, structured programming is taught first (with languages like Oberon [post-Pascal-Modula2] and Java BlueJ, and then c# is mostly taught to introduce OOP.
