Lesson plan

SharpDevelop

SharpDevelop (also styled as #develop) is a discontinued free and open source integrated development environment (IDE) for the .NET Framework, Mono, Gtk# and Glade# platforms. It supports development in C#, Visual Basic .NET, Boo, F#, IronPython and IronRuby programming languages. The IDE can still be downloaded and continues to be used by developers working on C# .Net Framework projects. The last release of SharpDevelop was only aimed at C# projects. There was little significant development to the .NET Framework following this release, and this version remains a valid option for developers targeting that platform. Support for other project types is available in the 4.X series releases, but they may not be compatible with later versions of the .NET Framework.
