Codecademy’s C# Tutorial
is a good, free, basic introduction to C#. Sign up using your school gmail account if you want. You can follow this tutorial for a series of projects for this class. Below is a breakdown of projects and a progression that you can follow. I generally recommend that you follow the tutorial for a while and then break off and write your own code. The tutorial tells you everything you need to do, so you don’t get any practice writing your own code. You learn better by writing your own code every now and then.
