I honestly don't know what the best option is these days, which is super unhelpful. I started learning Java about 12 years ago before there were all the online options we have now, then switched over to mostly C# when I started using Unity (they're basically the same language so the transition is really easy).
The most helpful book when I was starting was Sam's Teach Yourself Java in 24 Hours. Really good at teaching the language while explaining how to think like a programmer, which is a huge step when you're starting out.
It looks like they have a book for C# too. I haven't read it and it looks like it's written by a different guy, but it's probably a similar approach to teaching.
For online resources, I've used codecademy for learning a handful of new languages. Unfortunately they don't have any C# but they do have Java. It looks like some promising sites for C# are learncs.org and programmr.com, but I haven't used either of them so this is just from a quick glance.
Is something like Sam's Teach Yourself C# worth looking into or is it kinda gimmicky?
