Here's a good place to start. You've got the C# compiler already.

Re: C# How do I start programming in it?!

Grab your favorite text editor and start coding =)

If you already have the .NET framework SDK then you're all set. To get
started just create a new file, say, "myapp.cs" and type some simple code
into it:

using System;

class MyConsoleApp
{
public static void Main(string[] args) {
Console.WriteLi ne("Hello, world!");
}
}

I believe the SDK has a file called "vsvars32.b at" that you can run to
create the environment you need to build without changing the path. Run it,
navigate to the folder where your .cs file and enter something like

csc.exe /target:exe myapp.cs

This should generate "myapp.exe" in the same folder.

Everything is downhill from there =)

The .NET framework SDK is all you really need. You can use the command
line to compile your applications and write your code in your favorite
text editor....

But, might I suggest you check out SharpDevelop? It has a graphical
form designer, intellisense, code completion, syntax highlighting, etc.
It was writen in C#, and the best part it's free.

ICSharpCode

ICSharpCode has 21 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.
