Hi Shamil: Right now, the best IDE for C# is Microsoft's offering. The prices are pretty high; from 1K for entrance level package and up to 5K for the full-blown enterprise version. The packages may be well worth it but when getting any of them you are truly committed. If MS decides not to allow their package results to be compatible with the rest of the industry then a developer may find themselves on a dead-end street or/and rebuilding the resultant forms by hand and you are back to square one wondering why you have been buying all these upgrades every year. An aside from my personal observations: The current problem with the industry, as far as Microsoft is related, is that for every young student graduating from university with degrees in computer science maybe only one in thirty (50, more?...) is equiped to work with MS products. Young geeks have no money, so they learn programming and development on cheap and free products and that continues right through university as universities have no money either. The best students come out knowing how to program in C, PHP, Java, Ruby, Python, databases like MySQL, Postgress and Cassandra, on platforms like Linux and Unix and knowledge of only how to build web applications... Microsoft has stopped giving free introduction, training programs and access to their beta application at the universities. This is a problem for Microsoft if they want to be anything more than just sellers of their office products and the trainer of integrators, they are going to have to, again, be a lot more pro-active...just look at their competition.

Yes, AFAIS it promise to be a great tool to learn dynamic/scripting languages as JavaScript, Clojure, Python, HTML(5)/CSS(3) etc. AFAIU it's planned the first version of Light Table to be released next year May (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ibdknox/light-table?ref=NewsApr2612&utm _campaign=Apr26&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter). Waiting for that Light Table IDE release what other simpler (IDE) tools one can use to get instant interpretation/execution of the code they write? I must note I wanted to write a simple private tool having a couple of windows with one to type code into and another one to instantly interpret/execute typed code... Thank you. -- Shamil P.S. I'd expect similar to Light Table IDE "instant interpretation/debugging" features will appear in the next release of MS Visual Studio - 2014? - it appears to the one of the most demanded IDE features for nowadays real life application development...
