I shelved good old Bloodshed's Dev-C++ IDE and am now fully engaged in getting a handle on using Microsoft's Visual C# 2008 Express package. So far I love it. Ease of use and online documentation is excellent.
The real gem to getting started with MSVC# 2008 Express is working with O'Reilly's Head First C# text . Although I'm only 60 page in, I find the book amazing and it's gotten me using the tools right away. The book had a good chapter on developing windows forms and linking to an SQL database. I worked concurrently with the book however to make the most of it I substituted my own project in place of the books example for. I made a Customer registration form for Sublime. I managed to create a fairly nice rough draft and really feel I'm being efficient in working on the development as I learn/self-train. It also helped demystify SQL database linking for me.
Overall I'm buzzing with enthusiasm for the developement project and I'm especially pleased with my choices in literature/developemnt direction so far.
