My memory may have soured the process, but I'll mention the experience I had when I tried Visual C# Express.
I opted for local documentation, but everything returned 'resource not found'. In program online documentation, as I recall, led to a lot of 404s or redirects. I tried starting a demo project using SQLite, and spent more time finding the right tab with the right synonym for 'dependency' to add the SQLite plugin's directory. Trial and error wasn't terribly informative when doing that.
I decide to give the website another chance, and download some sample program packs; this involved navigating past the incorrect pages Express initially pointed me to, and then downloading a zip containing files Express didn't want to open without converting. It wasn't a fun process, and the projects I opened were written by monkeys, or interns, or interning monkeys, because the method names were inconsistently named and inconsistently spelled.
I went back to the less effortful Django and Rails tutorials, which introduce everything you need, and tell you enough to know where to look when you want to try a plugin.
