having climbed the net, I came to the conclusion that it’s better to learn C # according to Schildt (base) + additional materials, but it confuses me that Schildt, available in Russian, describes version 4 and already 7 is out, won’t it work out so I’ll study and then it turns out that starting with this then the version is outdated and not used at all, but is it used (irrelevant information in the book), or is everything that is written in the book relevant and can you learn from it?

The basis - to teach according to Schildt, in my opinion, is quite possible for yourself. Of course, more and more new ones are being introduced into the language ... "innovations!" (yes, let's call them that) :) But, we're talking about the basics of the language (i.e. the initial level)? Nobody changed the basics of the language. Speaking about the average level and above - I would probably still choose something as "new" as possible from the available material, and most likely it would not be a book, but reviews, documentation, etc.

You don't have to follow the book strictly. Set yourself a challenge and solve it. Go to asp.net in the blog section and see how people use different techniques, methodologies, etc. Google about your task. As soon as you find something similar to your task, start exploring the solution. See incomprehensible syntax, go to msdn and see what causes a stupor. You see incomprehensible logic, go to Google and Google. Or go to stackoverflow and ask there. Thus, there will be order in mastering. If you follow the book, you won't get anywhere. Or come, but after 3 years or more. It's not efficient.

Necessarily! But if you have knowledge of other programming languages, then you can immediately Troelsen. It is more difficult to understand, but if you have experience reading technical literature, then it will do. The latest edition is in Russian and is based on C# 6.0.

To learn how to program, I think, you need to follow a book that was first published in 1968.
Donald Knuth "The Art of Programming"
After it, you can learn any language from any book.
