Learning how to create real .NET applications using an example

Question

Over the past 4 years, I have been focusing mainly on SQL and the HTML / CSS interface. I have done quite a lot of (procedural) coding in BASIC. I do not have official training in CS (I have an economical degree.).

Now I switch gears to OOP in C # .NET full-time. To accelerate, I read about fundamental CS issues (e.g. data structures, algorithms, notations with big conclusions), mainly on StackOverflow and Wikipedia. I also read the sections Code Complete 2, Refactoring, and Head First Design Patterns.

I get the feeling that my approach to becoming a developer a few years ago. I feel that I need to become familiar with the available tools in C # and .NET before I can really benefit from learning how to best apply them.

The part that I think I'm missing is sitting and familiar with the .NET platform, actually doing some programming. I need to deal with the daily tasks that are involved in creating a real application.

Since I don't have a mentor, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a book or a website that would help novice programmers create a (somewhat) real .NET application to teach them the basics.

Thanks!

Ultimately, software development depends on the needs of the business and where your Econ background can come in handy. Check out the book Return to Software: Maximize the return on your Steven Tockey software investment when you get the chance. He enters into things like ROI, IRR, etc. Something that only Econ major can love :)
