A Legit Sublime Text Editor For C# Developers

Hi, could someone PLEASE tell me where I can find a legit website that will allow me to download the tools I'll need to develop an application on my own using C#? - Thank you...

Select the Visual Studio Community Edition for the free version. It nearly as good as the more expensive pay versions and you really are missing anything at this point. The higher editions contains team collaboration integration and more advanced unit testing. There is also an application called Visual Studio Code which is interesting but I wouldn't recommend you start off with that. It's not exactly what your wanting and it's much more complicated to configure.

+1 for Visual Studio, but if you want something lighter-weight (a Sublime equivalent editor instead a full-blown IDE) try Visual Studio Code which is free and has great C# integration for a free editor.

Thanks, I'll try it out - Quick question though, is this editor any good?:

I haven't used it but mono is typically used for cross platform development meaning that you can write software for Mac, Android, and Windows devices. Typically it's used for mobile development. As your just starting out I would recommend you stick with Visual Studio. It will provide the most support and is the go to editor for C#.

Alright - Thank you, Edward...
