Learn to program for free?
-
I ran into an old friend today and he's interested in learning how to program, he's been learning html and has managed to get a database going for a website etc but has never done any "programming" before. He has no money right now for books or software etc, only an XP computer with a dial up internet connection. I seem to recall that there is a free ide for .net and suspect there are probably some good beginner learn to program websites out there, hopefully something in c# or VB.NET. I was wondering if anyone knows of a site(s) that is/are good for someone who wants to learn to program from scratch with steps to install .net, an IDE etc. (Pre Codeproject level to start with)

Not one, but two. :) SharpDevelop[^] C# Builder[^] John Cardinal wrote: I was wondering if anyone knows of a site(s) that is/are good for someone who wants to learn to program from scratch with steps to install .net, an IDE etc. (Pre Codeproject level to start with) I've been wanting this too - my brother wants to learn C#, and that would be helpful for him. C-Sharp Corner[^] has some good beginner's articles, but not a whole lot.

Check also www.asp.net[^], there are lots of articles and tutorials, including a basic one. As well as you can download the free development tool for ASP.NET from there - it called WebMatrix Philip Patrick Web-site: www.stpworks.com "Two beer or not two beer?" Shakesbeer
