Giving in to a Proprietary Language

[Grizzly]

Well, I've decided to give into a Proprietary Language, C#, and start learning it. I really hate the fact it's ran by only Microsoft, etc. I do prefer open source things, but, I've received 4 requests to do jobs in C# that are paying a pretty penny for the amount of work it would have involved in C++. Unfortunately, I've missed these contracts because I don't know C#. I don't even know what the language looks like. I'm pretty decent at C++, but would like to learn C# as if I was a beginning programmer (I find it's easier for me to grasp languages that way, and not transfer bad habits over with the new language). So, anyone know some introductory tutorials/lessons/videos?


-I put this here simply because I felt it would be the best place lol, I know it's not C++ ;)
