For C#, I’d recommend starting with my beginner-level book Learning C# by Developing Games with Unity (7th Edition). I wrote it specifically to get new programmers up to speed with core programming skills from the ground up using C# and Unity, and you can find it at https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Developing-Games-Unity-coding/dp/1837636877.
For a deeper dive into the C# language, Mark Price’s book C# 11 and .NET: Modern Cross-Platform Development Fundamental is fantastic, which you can find at https://www.amazon.com/11-NET-Cross-Platform-Development-Fundamentals/dp/1803237805.
For Unity content, I’d recommend Hands-On Unity 2022 Game Development by Nicolas Alejandro Borromeo (https://www.amazon.com/Hands-Unity-2022-Game-Development/dp/1803236914) and Unity 3D Game Development by Anthony Davis, Travis Baptiste, Russell Craig, and Ryan Stunkel (https://www.amazon.com/Unity-Game-Development-design-beautiful/dp/1801076146).
