Interested in learning c#?

Anyone interested in trying out c#?. Check this program out, if your can't afford to buy Visual Studio, but want to learn c#.
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/

Tbh, i'd prefer to get a version of Visual Studio, but this one can help alot if you can't affor Visual Studio. The best thing about SharpDevelop, is that it's pretty similar to Visual Studio. Atleast i were able to build and run 3 simple C# application, following the instructions in C# for Dummies

You'll also need either the Microsoft.NET SDK 1.1 or the Runtime installed on the machine. The SDK is a 100 mb download, but the runtime is only 23 mb.
You'll get the links for the SDK and the Runtime on the download page for SharpDevelop:

Re: Interested in learning c#?

C# Express is a pretty good way of learning the language (there's also a VB.NET express if i remember rightly). It's not as powerful as full-blown VS.NET 2003, obviously, but it's enough to be able to make forms applications and perhaps play about with DirectX. You may still be able to acquire the VS.NET 2005 beta on CD from Microsoft too.

Edit:
The MS webby's got some really good articles around the idea of 'coding for fun' that involve C# and VB.NET for people who've not played with it before.

Re: Interested in learning c#?

Mono is good, I'm using it (and MonoDevelop) on Linux to try learning c#

Granted it doesn't support everything perfectly yet, but its definately improving fast as with lots of open source things at the moment.

What's c# like compared to C++? What does it offer?

Re: Interested in learning c#?

You might wanna check my links out, if your interested in what c# is about. Can't really recommend you to switch from c++ to c#, since i'm trying to learn programming atm. Tried to learn Java earlier, but gave it up because i were either to stupid, or the books i bought were bad. Learned the basics of Perl, before i tried to learn an object oriented programming language again. Were recommended from a vb-programmer to learn C#, and that's why i'm trying it now.

After what i read, c# seems be the choice if you wan't to develop programs fast., and c# seems to have better error control. But c++ stil seems to be the best choice if performance matters.

I'll give you a few links if your interested in checking it out. Only the last one should be influenced by ms, and the 2 other is recommended links that Stephen Randy Davis had in his c# for dummies(he also wrote c++ for dummies):

Re: Interested in learning c#?

I'm interested in learning C#, I bout an education version of the MS C# editor, I forget what it's called, but it was pricey. I'm going to get around to it someday.

C# is one of the language used in Microsoft's .NET implementation. It's run on a virtual engine much like Java. What's great about it, I think, is the many built in libraries, and of course the editor, what's it called, I can't think of it right now, oh yes Visual Studio. I have that :0. It's fantastic. And I've only heard good things about C#.

I'm not sure if it's really called a 'virtual engine' btw, but I think that's it.

Re: Interested in learning c#?

MS has some webcasts that might prove interesting if you're just starting to learn it, plus if you already know Java then this might be interesting reading.

Re: Interested in learning c#?

I gotta agree with Pab on this - the MS Webcasts are damned useful - the recorded coding for fun series is great but if you get the chance to attend one of the live ones they really help as you can ask questions or get stuff clarified on the spot.

Re: Interested in learning c#?

C# is nice.

Java is my favourite though. Along with C.

I think I don't like C# as much merely because I wasn't taught as much about it at Uni (but I did get to write alot of C# code) as the others.

But tbh if you can use Java, C# really isn't much different (in the basics) once it starts getting more complicated the differences between the languages are quite easy to see.
