Well now that I have decided to take the plunge into programing, I'm going to need the tools to get there. Visual Studio Express offers development tools in an easy-to-use application/interface, and the Express Edition is designed for the novice developers like me.
Visual Studio Express comes in a few different versions. For getting started with C#, I decided to go with Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop. I avoided the trail for Ultimate 2013 simply because Express offers everything I need to get started.
Visual Studio Express is well supported by Microsoft and it's users, so when I do run in to a road block, I'm sure that someone will have the answer. But for right now I am ready to say hello to the world of C# development.
