Visual C# 2005 Express edition is out and developers can download it for free (at least for a little while), now I am wondering what this means for SharpDevelop which is also a free open source C#/VB.Net integrated development environment. I am not going to make any speculations because I haven’t worked with either products to really say which is better but I am pretty sure the Microsoft product is going to take at least some of SharpDevelop’s base. Maybe when I once again start concentrating on C# development in the next weeks I will write an article comparing the two products. For now, I am going to check out what the C# Express Edition is about! 🙂
