If you search google for c# and "best practices" there are lots of examples for different subject areas. The most difficult part of coding for the Common Language Runtime (CLR) in C# or Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in Java is the volume of information in the runtime libraries. I've always been a fan of the Wrox books, since they're a good balance between tutorial and reference. Honestly though, the best resource for specific questions is still google.

The best way to learn it is to use it.
