Visual Studio is still heavily operating system orientated, even though .NET is basically designed to be os independent.

I have recently read a tutorial in .NET magazine on how to make a C# app for Windows and Linux.
It required getting rid of a lot of functionality. For os independent programming, I suggest JAVA.

C# totally owns Java and Perl, its a fucking great language. Mono project I think will lead the way in future (a very distant future).

I have a C# learning book. I only made really simple programs for it at school, and I wasn't really in to it.

Now that Kintaro is saying nice stuff about it, I'll consider learning the language :)
