i take no claim in this program.. just for people who are poor
and can not aford any thing els this is a great start..

it is opensource so thoughs of you here who are good at programing
wich i know alot of you are.. for i have been comeing to this site for very long time.. just never reged... though i thought i did a while back ago.. but guess i dint any ways. is a screeny from there site..

it functions alot like VB so it is good for learning i guess?
i use Microsoft 2005 tools.. >.< for i got them free from them ^^
but.. this is small easy to use i think.. it seemed easy for me.
i have tested it and it seems to work even with MS VB6/8[2005]
scripts. but i am not 100% sure.. but yea.. i hope this isnt agenst rules.. i only read part of the rules.. o.o oh and so ya know it updates alot. but like i said or i think i said. seems alot of you here could make this even better.
but its free .. and well. its not easy to find free things.. now there is nother thing i heard of thats called bloodshed. never checked it out but i well after i post this.. i have heard of it befor.. but i was reading forums and noticed some one els used it.. maybe it well be better than MS's **** but SharpDevelop 2 only works for .net 2.2/1.1 now SharpDevelop 1 works for 1.1
any ways it well only work on windows :( i hope some one likes it..

Yeah, looks a lot like VB. I find this is a little cleaner however. I'm sure it'll be put to good use

SharpDevelop is a very good IDE indeed.
Also if anyone here wants to use the Linux port of it, there's one called MonoDevelop. It uses the Mono Framework, which is a free (both in terms of free beer and free speech) framework compatible with MS DotNet.

As for Bloodshed Dev-C++, it's a pretty good IDE too, but there's a little difference between the two IDEs...
Bloodshed's for C/C++ and Pascal, while SharpDevelop/MonoDevelop is for C#/VB.Net.

There's a lot of 'shortcuts' in NetBeans, which is a free java based IDE for java. There's even a swing builder, so you might wanna check that out.
