I learned C# from watching Scott Allen's MVC 3 course on PluralSight years ago. The best part about his videos was that he would purposely avoid using the pre-scaffolded boilerplate project templates, and would instead start with empty ASP.NET projects and build up an MVC solution from there. Before I had even written a single line of code, I was able to keep up in conversations with guys who had been writing C# for a decade, because he was so thorough. I learned more about patterns and structures from other folks like John Papa, but the fundamentals were all thanks to Scott's videos.
