Using LINQPad5 for C# practice

Question

Hi, im currently studying C# and in the early part of the tutorial, SoloLearn recommends VS as the Code editor to be used but i have a limited resources(internet connection) and space on my laptop so i can't download VS with the package needed for C# then i found LINQPad5. does using LINQPad as my IDE for practicing C# have an effect on how the way i learn C#? i know my question sounds funny and not worthq answering but im just really wondering.

Answer 1

@De Wei... This is a valid question worthy of a valid answer. 😉

I love LINQPad for code snippets. However, you should use a proper IDE to get the maximum development experience with .NET. If Visual Studio.NET is not an option, I agree with John that VS Code is an excellent lightweight alternative.

Answer 2

There is a lightweight online editor: https://code.visualstudio.com

Failing that, the VS community edition should be a smaller download?

Or you could try using SharpDevelop

Answer 3
