If you just want to play around, a text editor will be fine.
However, in my opinion, you can never achieve the same productivity with
that approach as with Visual Studio.
You can use the VS 2008 Express series. It is free.
Some benefits:
* Syntax highlighting - should you have any vision remaining.
* Visual Designers - should you have have any vision remaining.
* Intellisense.
* Code completion.
* Auto code formatting (configurable)
* Integrated compiler and debugger.
* Code navigation, such as *GoToDefinition* and *GoToDeclaration*.
* Code information: types of variables in tooltips etc.
* And lots of other tools too.
IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. Basically, it is a fancy
and powerful text editor with all the extra development tools all right
there, readily accessible.
So, unless you have a very compelling reason, you should always use an IDE,
VS or other, all in my humble opinion.

Hi
What's the main advantages of using a IDE like Visual Studio?
I thought of just starting out coding in my favorite text editor EdSharp.
Is that a stupid approach?

Thanks Chris. It is usable but not clean.
It is what it is unless I ever script it.

No I was using JAWS at the time. No workaround as far as I knew solved it.

Hay Chris: Are you running Windoweyes? I have a tough time with
Intellisense reading too much and even reading what I had typed on the
TextEditer line. Is that the same problem you were having? If so let me
know how you worked around it. It is annoying.

Hi, I used Visual C# Express 2008, which is very accessible. There are
issues with the intellisense feature, but worked around the problem.
The Express editions of Visual Studio uses language-independent IDEs,
whereas Professional and higher use one IDE for all languages.
Hope this helps.

Thanks all!
Chris:
Is Visual C# Express Edition accessible out of the box?
And what's the difference between Visual Studio Express, Visual C#
Express?
Is it just that Visual C# is only a C# IDE and Visual Studio is a
complete
IDE for C, C++, C#, F# etc?

I would go for C# as it's very similar to java in terms of program
structure. When I told my professors at university that I couldn't use
Java natively, that's what they suggested; c#. I used the Visual C#
Express Edition for my programming assignments. Hope this helps.

Hi
I want to learn to program.
I'm not quite sure what to dive into yet.
I think I want to focus on desktop application development on Windows.
Which language do you recommend?
C, C++, C#, F#, Ruby, Python, Java etc?
Currently I'm leaning towards C# or Java.
I don't know why though :)
I'm a Jaws user and EdSharp is my text editor of choice.
