QuickSharp

C# programming without the VS

A minimalist C# development environment for .NET and Mono

QuickSharp provides a simple, uncluttered development approach that lets you get programming in an instant. QuickSharp doesn't use solutions or projects; programs and libraries are developed as single files making development a breeze - just startup, start typing, compile and run.

With QuickSharp you can work directly with the .NET framework development tools and get real, hands-on experience with the most advanced application platforms for Windows.

Take control of your development tools

QuickSharp is not just a development environment, it's also a lightweight application framework which can be easily modified and extended using a simple plugin-based architecture. The QuickSharp IDE is developed entirely using this framework; we call it the QuickSharp.Core and you can use it to create your own, highly customised development environments.

For an instant introduction try the QuickStart; for more information see the features and screenshots pages, read the Guide and visit the project website at SourceForge.
