For our April “Staff Pick” Project of the Month, we selected SharpDevelop, a free IDE for C#, VB.NET, & Boo projects on Microsoft’s .NET platform.
SharpDevelop was designed as a free, lightweight alternative to Microsoft Visual Studio and as such, works natively with Visual Studio projects and code files. SharpDevelop allows you to write applications in a number of different languages including C#, VB.NET, F#, Boo, IronPython, and IronRuby.
It comes with integrated unit and performance testing tools; Git, NuGet, and many others. Its features include project management, application compiling, code editing and debugging.
This isn’t the first time that SharpDevelop earned the coveted Project of the Month title. In July 2015, it was also voted “Community Choice” Project of the Month alongside Octave-Forge. It’s estimated to have been downloaded over 8 million times worldwide since its inception.
