Does anyone have a good tutorial or information how can I start programming C# application using Kinect? I have been searching and all I find are videos but no real articles.

Microsoft blundered when it launched the Kinect V2, bundling it with the Xbox One and driving up the total price. To bring that price tag back down, the Kinect was sacrificed. The stigma it generated probably led to decreased interest, and decreased usage led to developer abandonment.
Manufacturing of the Kinect for Windows has been discontinued. The next generation of Microsoft's category-defining depth sensor lives on in the Azure Kinect DK, a developer kit with advanced AI sensors for sophisticated computer vision and speech models.
I've seen several people talk about starting from http://codelaboratories.com/nui
Their platform comes with a "WPF/C# (.NET 3.5) Visual Studio 2010 Sample Application" - and there's lots of talk on forums like http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/11249/ - plus look on here under https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/kinect
Whatever you write, bear in mind that the official SDK is on the way - my guess is that there might be some sort of CTP available near MIX11?
You're definitely in pioneer territory - so expect to hit the odd problem along the way - but enjoy it!
Update - the official SDK will be available here - http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/kinectsdk/ - "soon"
