Learning C#

[zoink]

Hi All
For all the .NET developers out there, could somebody point me to a resource or take some time to tell me on how to start learning Microsoft's C# or C-Sharp.

Things i would like to hear about is how to install the base framework, compilers, editors etc..

I currently use Visual Basic and Java and i understand the whole object orientated approach but it's the preparation of the environment so i can start writing code is the part that is a mess in my poor poor head!!!

Any help would be great!!!

I'm not much of a programmer, but I was looking at the .NET environment recently. To set it up all you need to do is install the .NET Framework. It has the compilers needed for C# and VB.NET which you can use from the command line. For an editor you could just use Notepad or whichever text editor you want. If you want an IDE you can get Microsoft's developer programs (lots of $$$), or look around for a free one. One I came across is SharpDevelop (http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx). For more resources there is a section on the O'Reilly Network for .NET (http://www.ondotnet.com/) and DevArticles also has a section (http://www.devarticles.com/c/b/C-Sharp/). Of course there is always Micorsoft's developer resources on their website.

Hope this helps get you started. Good luck. :)
