Also I know XNA/C# pretty well so feel free to send me a PM if you have any direct questions.

I agree with CygnusX1's comment - it would be helpful to have a dedicated C# book to learn from to really get a handle on how to use the language. I think the "Learning C#" books are really good.

That book starts off really simple - as if you have no programming experience and no idea of what OOP is - and just keeps ramping up the complexity and depth. I learned C# from the "2.0" version of that book, and to be honest I'm not sure which version is used by XNA 4.0, or how that works exactly, but the fundamentals will be the same.

Work your way through that book from the beginning and keep going until you're lost. Do some programming work, and then use that book as a reference, or keep going further into it when you're feeling adventurous.

I've been working with XNA for a little over a year now, coming from some programming experience, but no game development or C# experience, and it's served me really well.
