Want To Program-Good Programming Resources?

[Matt Willard]

Hey, it's me again. Just offering up an update as well as a request for further advice.

Anyway, I had decided, according to my goal of learning software development, that I would pursue C# first. I even found a decent looking tutorial and everything. I've already gone through it a bit, too. But now, looking back, I had to wonder, "How can I learn this language while having a big amount of fun, too?" The tutorial I picked up was nice, but not hands-on enough, not something I could really take a ride with, you know?

So, like many people, I decided that the best way I could enjoy myself while learning this stuff was to create some silly games with it.

And so, once again I turn to you. What resources I could look into that focus on learning C# to develop games? I like a lot of hands-on, and more important, I like 'em free. I got so many great answers last time, so I hope I can get the same kind of feedback now that I'm more clear on what I'd do with this knowledge. Any help would be appreciated.
