I have not been able to find any related subject here related to training patterns, Some of us who have gone through the C# basics and moderate courses as well as some other courses may be at loss like I am as to how a person would go through a project from start to finish. I was wondering if there is a book out there or a site what would hit the ground running with a project from concept to deployment, just pure coding and testing within SharePoint framework, this would be a HUGE help. Thanks.

Welcome Samin to the SharePoint Stackexchange, you have asked quite a generic question. Have you gone through any books, tutorials yourself ? – Arsalan Adam Khatri Jan 22 '14 at 14:23

This is kind of a duplicate of quite a few threads. See sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/52937/learn-sharepoint and sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/3297/… – Robert Kaucher Jan 22 '14 at 14:31

I say kind of above because those threads are 2010 specific but many of the resources mentioned are still applicable. – Robert Kaucher Jan 22 '14 at 14:32

@Samin - which version of SharePoint 2010 or 2013 are you targeting? The app development model has changed. – Supriyo SB Chatterjee Jan 22 '14 at 17:12

Paid Training
PluralSight is the best online training site for SharePoint administration and development. They have 95 courses and are adding new ones pretty regularly. I have no affiliation, but I have been a subscriber for a few years now.
Microsoft offers courses on SharePoint development as well. You can go to an MS partner to take it. Just check out the "Optional Training" links.
I say this with some reservation, but I did find this book: SharePoint 2010 Development with Visual Studio 2010 by Eric Carter, Boris Scholl and Peter Jausovec helpful. My reservations are due to typos and some omissions from the text and code. I learned from this book by searching sites like this one when the code would not compile. I had to figure out how to fix what was not working from the book examples. In the end, I learned from it despite its shortcomings.

I haven't read that book, but it might be more realistic than you think. Real world SharePoint development is exactly like that. MSDN and the blogosphere are full of stuff that doesn't work, omits important details, or only addresses the most trivial of use cases. Then you are left having to fill in the missing or inaccurate bits yourself. – Derek Gusoff Feb 10 '14 at 15:17
