.NET software

[SB]

Hello,

I have experience in VB and C. Can someone guide me as to
what all software do I need to begin learning .NET, and
where should I start in general?

Thanks in advance
SB

You could try http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sd/ for a free IDE
without a debugger or youre local p2p outlet for VS.NET. :D

Re: .NET software

I would suggest if you just want to test the waters, that you pick up a copy
of Visual C# at your local Staples. It's much cheaper than buying an MSDN
subscription. (I'm in Canada, and it was $175. In the US, I'm guessing
around $125 or so)

If getting up to speed quickly is important, I read an introduction to c#
from A Press that was good. It was "A Programmer's Introduction to C#", by
Eric Gunnerson, I think. I remember it being fairly easy to get through
quickly.

For in-depth getting started programming, I like some of the Wrox Press
books, although lately it seems more like quantity over quality from them.
I've got Professional C#, and it covers basic to mid-level stuff. Pretty
good, but not great.

I have found the best in-depth material for the .NET framework in the
Microsoft Press books.

Good luck!!

Re: .NET software

for a start it's sufficient to download and install the .NET Framework. The
framework includes everything you need for a start. You might consider
buying an ide later on but for the start notepad is enough :-)

Re: .NET software

Pick a language you like, VB.Net,C#.Net.. ... Whatever you like. Run
down and buy the "Deluxe Learning Edition at the local book store.


then sit down and start writing software.
