Hi Jim -- Yes, VS IDE for C# is very good - I do use it every day. But it lucks a feature which Light Table IDE is planning to "bring to the table" - dynamic interpretation/execution of the code you type in... And I was wondering - is there something like that "a la' Light Table" IDE - mainly for JavaScript? For C# quick prototyping/"snippeting" I do use LINQPad. For RegEx expressions developing and testing I do use RegEx Buddy. For Test Driven Development/Unit Testing I do use NUnit and TestDriven.NET. And for JavaScript and HTML(5)/CSS(3) development I'm missing a "dynamic interpretation tool" - do you know any? As for high price on MS development tools for students - Darryl mentioned DreamSpark MS Program, which is free for students. And for "chickens" - just out of college young developers if they were good at college and if they used Dreamspark program free development tools then they shouldn't have (?) problems to find a good job with MS development tools provided by their employees? Thank you. -- Shamil Thu, 20 Sep 2012 09:11:26 -0700 от "Jim Lawrence" <accessd at shaw.ca>: >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.
