Good old fashioned practice, lots and lots of it. The more mistakes you make the more you'll learn and the better you'll get. Treat every day that you write code as a new day as a new day to learn something new.
However I will add a couple of good reference books worth keeping by your desk.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/C-7-0-Nutshell-Joseph-Albahari/dp/1491987650/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517217309&sr=8-1&keywords=c%23 is a good book to have at hand when you forget the little nuances of how the language works.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pro-NET-Core-Andrew-Troelsen/dp/1484230175/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1517217418&sr=8-5&keywords=c%23 is a great read in and of itself, however you should have a basic understanding of C# before you start reading it. It does cover the basic aspects of working with WPF though.
Neither of these books will be of much use until you understand the basics.
