Does anybody know some websites who offers online tutoring for C#? I am particularly seeking one-on-one tutoring.
Check out Inner Workings.
They offer self-paced .NET training to developers as an add-in to Visual Studio. The code is checked against provided solutions, so you can gain insight into different areas of the framework. Whilst it's not quite an online tutor, the training provided is a good start.
If you need online tutor help you can contact student.support#live.com which was really helpful for me
On books for beginners i'd recommend the galileo-openbooks
Check out MSDN Virtual Labs on Visual C#.
check this
You can check this and some other books for learning...
IMO rather than taking online tutor, it will be more fruitful if you have a mentor to guide you...if not you can ask questions here and learn from it...but it is personal taste
Sharing my learning experience, it is best to learn yourself (I am also learning C/C++) and then there should be someone to answer your confusion/questions and SO is the best place for that :)

I have heard of BDD (Behavior Driven Development) just recently, and I liked the idea. since I work mainly with C# and .NET, I found SpecFlow, then learned that SpecFlow uses Gherkin and now I feel lost. Where do you find official documentation that tells you everything you need to know about SpecFlow, the same for Gherkin.
In short: is there a book (not blogs and articles) about developing real life (practical) applications using these tools?
Not sure if there are many books out there that covers this. The book: Pro Agile .NET development with SCRUM does cover BDD in one of their chapters.
http://www.amazon.com/Agile-Development-SCRUM-Professional-Apress/dp/1430235330
Personally I have learnt about it through the following articles/ videos:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/82891/BDD-using-SpecFlow-on-ASP-NET-MVC-Application
http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2010/03/03/behavior-driven-development-bdd-with-specflow-and-aspnet-mvc/
The official documentation is available on github: https://github.com/techtalk/SpecFlow/wiki/Documentation
Gherkin documentation: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Gherkin
I can highly recommend The Cucumber Book (http://pragprog.com/book/hwcuc/the-cucumber-book).
It's not about C# and SpecFlow but all concepts applies. Loved it

I see a lot of ATS is available online for any company who wants to implement ATS for a nominal cost. I also see a few available as opensource.
I work in a small firm and am I come from non IT background. With my own interests have tried my hands on with some Java and C# lately.I enjoy learning programming and want to learn more. I want to design and develop an ATS for the company.We don't have one and I think it will be a great experience for me. I tried google and I found a very relevant link on same system in MS Access tutorial from MSDN Here is the link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/gg621254
At the end they say to publish on Share point.(optional) I have no clue about Sharepoint.
I wanted to know if I use any other Database instead of MS Access. In Oracle, they have forms and reports which is mainly used. Is there anything similar on MS Access so that I can have the Cost to hire employee calculator available? Any suggestions or ideas in general also will help me a lot.
Thanks in advance,
newbee
Ah, the good ol' days of where to begin. Well, here is what I can suggest and spend a weekend watching the video tutorials just becoming familiar with what you can do.
http://www.asp.net/web-forms
Next is viewing others code.
Nerd Dinner
http://nerddinner.com/ (little more on the advance side)
http://nerddinner.codeplex.com/
Patterns : don't just start throwing darts at a wall to see what sticks.
http://www.dofactory.com ($$, might find something similar but I've seen this and it's pretty nice for the newbee).
Read, read, read (google.com, asp.net) and watch, watch, watch (asp.net, youtube.com)!
Have fun.

How do developers keep up to date with new C# features?
Are there famous / popular blogs that people subscribe to?
What else can developers do to keep at the forefront of changes
Actually there aren't so many new features in the language itself as you might think. Personally I am keeping track of Scott Gu's blog.
Visit this site regularly, and be sure not to miss Jon Skeet's answers and comments..
Visual Studio has a very nice preconfigured RSS feed on it's start window. It's updated regularly with posts from various MSDN blogs and usually contains very helpful information on .NET technology and programming examples (LINQ-kungfu, C# 4.0 features and so on). If nothing else I'd recommend to check it out once a day.
Subscribe to the .Net Rocks podcast.
In addition to all the good answers already written, I would recommend Bill Wagner's books: More effective C#: 50 specific ways to improve your C# which gives you a real insight into C# great possibilities. Ok it isn't online, it's just an old-fashioned book, but when you read, you forget that inconvenient. Besides, there are new editions to cover new versions. To my mind, this book, Jon Skeet's blog and msdn website can be great references for C# developers

I learned Java with the help of the book 'Java how to program'. The book had lots of questions and exercises that helped me a lot.
I am now looking for a website or preferably a book that has similar programming questions/exercises that will help me learn C#/.NET and become a better programmer. Could someone suggest a book or point me to a website ?
Thanks
Edit: I should add that I am not looking for advanced stuff like Project Euler, but basic stuff
While it's specifically aimed at algorithmic programming, Project Euler can only do good things for getting well-acquainted with a language! Work through as many problems as you can, solving them in C#, and you'll have fun at the same time as learning the language.
This isn't a bad site:
http://www.fincher.org/tips/Languages/csharp.shtml
Starts off with console applications doing "Hello World" and reading files and goes on to hit a long list of important concepts including database access using Parameters.
The Sphere online Judge has a good collection of programming problems, ranging from tutorial problems to challenge problems.
If you like working through exercises, solving puzzles, etc. while learning, you'll love the Head First book on C#.
APress Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform by Andrew Troelsen is the single best book I've read to quickly get into the language. It suggests concise relevant examples and code samples for the reader to try, and I recommend following them. It's a 1700 page book - very exhaustive and reasonably priced for the amount of content.

I subscribe to a newsletter from www.sqlservercentral.com that I like because each day I get an email digest with some interesting headlines & summaries of SQL Server articles that are already out there on the web. It's a great way to learn something new a bit at a time.
Is there something like this for C#?
(If your favorite one is already listed, can you vote for it so I can see what's most popular? Thanks!)
In addition to codeproject, I believe there are other sites like C# Corner, C# help which does the same..
Couple more I found useful (Not specific to C#):
visualstudiomagazine
Dr. Dobb's
Have you ever considered subscribing to blogs? You can often get better content than the daily subscription emails and if you want can even become a part of the discussion through the comments. Two that are generally good for learning more about the trade and C# are CodingBetter.com and Los Techies. If you are looking for something that is more of an aggregate of other sources Scott Gu routinely puts out a list of links that can be very informative in addition to helpful walk through articles.
Good luck,
check out wwww.codeproject.com they have a lot of articles and various newsletters.
You should try dotnetkicks.com which delivers nice rss feed of the most relevant .net blogs (imho). If you want the RSS-Feed emailed to you try feedblitz or xfruits
