Black.Cat

I've been learning Javascript for a while now, and I want to start learning C#, the only problem is I have NO clue how to get, or use a compiler. I've never tryed learning a language that requires a compiler. I was just wondering if anybody could help me out, send me a link or something.

For the learning C# part, not to be picky but if anybody could give me a link to a page equivalent to this http://www.mvhs.net/~rkrane/java/Jav...cs151java.html but in C#, I would greatly appreciate it, because it seems to me by looking through that page a little, you may need a little preknowledge before you just start practicing examples... like that primitive data type stuff and what not(has no clue what that is)... I dunno... I guess theres stuff like that in most higher level programming languages. If you've made it this far thanks for reading, and sorry for sounding picky.

Learning C# by O'Reiley is a VERY good book to start with. I have not really done much with C#, but that book is what I started with and it gives you a good overview of pretty much everything. It also includes a few pointers for people learning C# after having learned C++, VB, and/or Java which makes it easier to understand the syntax and what not to C#.

Aside from that there are many good tutorials in the Tutorials subforum, look there.

I went to the link that you provided and then just cut off the end of it to navigate to the home page and it also had a section for C#. There was a drop down menu for lessons and C# was in the list and it sent me to this page:

mono <- Free runtime and compiler and utilities needed... http://www.gomono.org
And there is a free IDE IR told me about, I think it is called DevSharp, google it.

A couple of my friends use the free C# IDE from:
http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sd/
My buddy Olaf (the terrible) told me it's about 6Megs.

You still need the free .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package called dotnetfx.exe from Microsoft. I think it is about a 24Meg download. Install that first than the IDE.
