Learning .Net/C#

[JVZ]

I'm thinking about starting the journey to learn the .Net framework/C#. However I got a question...when I start writing sample code can I use a text editor or do I have to use Visual Studio.Net?

I know in Java I can use a text editor like Textpad and compile/run my code from command line...can this be done w/.Net?

I personal find it better for to learn a language using a simple text editor than an IDE that provide “insight”…

Yes, you can create C# code using a text editor and compile C# from the command line. See the link below:
