Loving #develop!

Posted In: Uncategorized by rauchy

#develop (short for SharpDevelop) is a free IDE for C#, VB.NET and Boo projects on Microsoft’s .NET platform.

I’ve heard about it on show #245 by .NET Rocks! on my way to work and it really set up high expectations for me. I was positive that when I’ll get back home and install it, I’ll find myself disappointed.

Well, I just finished installing it (took me about 2 minutes, seriously) and I must say that I’m amazed! It looks amazing, comes with built-in Subversion support, NUnit integration, FxCop and more. Seems like the guys at ic#code really understand the Alt.Net way.

Hey, I loaded Regionerate’s solution on #develop, it loaded in a couple of seconds, flawlessly compiled and ran! Heck, I’m switching to #develop, starting today!

Well said. I pulled down a recent copy of it a few weeks ago and was completely blown way. It’s simple, clean, and unbelievably fast.

Mark my words, if JetBrains ever comes out with a R# plugin for #Develop (or anyone else for that matter) my whole team will be on #Develop in a heartbeat.

Something to say?
