I've been doing development with Rails on personal projects and while Netbeans isn't Visual Studio, it's still a pretty solid development tool.
I also dig how the local Rails environment shows you every call that's being made, plenty of solid logging integration, etc. Also the gems and other libraries being open source and freely available is great, and Ruby crushes C# with regards to Metaprogramming if you're going to go deep (which you probably will).
The debugging style is different but it's definitely several thousand leaps above ASP/VBScript. You'll be more than fine.
- shortlived 16y ago> Netbeans isn't Visual Studio You can say that again. It's also way behind Eclipse. It's amazing how good an IDE can be when you have a large corporation behind it (I.e. MS or IBM).
- rbanffy 16y agoInteresting... I prefer NetBeans for Java web and J2ME stuff.
- ChRoss 16y agoASP/VBScript Are you referring to classic ASP? VS (for .NET) has great debugging features.
- okaramian 16y agoI am indeed referring to classic ASP, when the poster said taking a step back I assumed he meant classic ASP over ASP.NET.
- ChRoss 16y agoI'm sorry for that, I guess I missed out that details since the topic is about .NET. definitely several thousand leaps above ASP/VBScript But still, I disagree with the choice of words in your comment. I used VS Interdev for classic ASP debugging in the past, and I find it sufficient enough. Yes, I'm sure there are other IDE/tools which can do more than Interdev, but I don't think it will be several thousand leaps.
