This should probably be a sticky.
C# Fundamentals: Development for Absolute BeginnersNice Find!!
A newly collated 24 episode series on Channel 9 at MSDN.
http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C-Sharp-Fundamentals-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners#tab_sortBy_sequential (http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C-Sharp-Fundamentals-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners#tab_sortBy_sequential)
I haven't seen the videos but they seem to be presented by Bob Tabor who's work I am familiar with at www.LearnVisualStudio.net (http://www.LearnVisualStudio.net) .
Should be great for a refresher course as well as for Beginners.

Addendum to previous post.
DO NOT view the lesson by clicking the piccy ( the default resolution is a little crappy)
Select either
