Basically started learning programming and In this tutorial http://thenewboston.org/watch.php?cat=15&number=1
it says to program in c# you need to download C# express 2010, Now i tried installing it and it gives me this error: "Please uninstall all products listen below and then restart setup"
- Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express Beta - ENU
Thing is... I Don't even have that program installed? Don't know what I can do about this.
Also, I noticed this is a very old software and its from 2010, I tried looking for newer versions they all can't run on Windows XP (which is what I have) so I'm stuck with having to install C# express 2010. any help?
It appears you have the beta version of Visual Basic 2010 Express installed on your machine. You'll need to remove that and then attempt to reinstall Visual C# 2010 Express. If plan on using Visual Basic 2010 Express then I would find the non-beta version and install that afterward.
You can download both versions here. I hope this helps.
Update: If this doesn't work download the Visual Studio removal utility from here and follow the instructions on the same page. I suggest using the "Complete" removal option the tool provides: VS2010_Uninstall-RTM.ENU.exe /full /netfx. Then reinstall.

I'm confused to choose between Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio Community 2017. Can someone explain to me in detail? thanks
Visual Studio Community 2017:
is a Free, fully-featured IDE for students, open-source and individual developers.It is full featured IDE
Visual Studio Code: is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
This is more of like an editor
See the Documentation on both of these Applications
Visual Studio Community
Visual Studio Code
I fetched a simple description from the documentation
Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor
which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and
Linux. It comes with built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript and
Node.js and has a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages
Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE)
from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs for Microsoft
Windows, as well as web sites, web apps, web services and mobile apps.
Visual Studio uses Microsoft software development platforms such as
Windows API, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows
Store and Microsoft Silverlight. It can produce both native code and
managed code. (Wiki)

I would like to learn C# and using Visual Studio 2013. There are a few different flavors of Visual Studio Express 2013: for Web, for Windows and for Windows Desktop. I am not really sure which one I should download. Can someone advise on this? I borrowed the book Professional Visual Studio 2013 from the library, but it seems that this book is targeted for the professional version of Visual Studio 2013. Would I still be able to use the Express version to work on the examples in the book?
Also, I want to learn WPF, WCF and Silverlight, do they come bundled with the Web, Windows or Windows Desktop flavor?
Thanks in advance.
You should download and install all 3 of the express edition since they are free and serve different purposes. However, I would suggest you to get a commercial version for many extra features and convenience.

I know that there is ReSharper for C# for helping to program, is there something similar for C++?
Update: The JetBrains are working on Resharper for C++.
While not quite as good for C++ as Resharper is for C#, Whole Tomato makes a product called Visual Assist X which handles C++ and does it in a reasonably performant manner.
Developer Express also makes CodeRush, which provides more features than Visual Assist, but which is also a much harder drain on your computer, and also which occasionally makes mistakes -- most constructs using macros won't work correctly with CodeRush. Note that as of 2013-05-31, CodeRush has deprecated their C++ support.
Resharper and Visual Assist are nice to have around -- I occasionally flip on CodeRush for some of it's better refactorings, but most of the time leave it off because Visual Assist X's code completion assistance is better.
Do keep in mind that installing any such plugin requires running the IDE in Integrated Mode (rather than Isolated Mode). This means:
In Visual Studio 2012 or earlier you'll need a full version of Visual Studio, not one of the express editions. If you're a university student you can probably download a full copy from MSDNAA. If you're a non-university student or your university doesn't provide MSDNAA you can still download a full version from DreamSpark.
In Visual Studio 2013 or later you can use the "Community Edition", such as Visual Studio Community 2013.
Public announcement of C++ support in ReSharper: http://blogs.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2013/06/resharper-to-support-c
Visual Assist
Once you use this program, you really can't live without it. (And when I say program, I mean add-in!)
It wholly depends on which features you were using from Resharper.
Personal experience: I've used both Resharper and Visual Assist X for at least half a year both, and in the end I went with this free package: Productivity Power Tools by Microsoft: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/d0d33361-18e2-46c0-8ff2-4adea1e34fef/
Visual Studio 2010 has some improvements similar to what Resharper offers. It's not as good, but there's always Lint. Also, you may be interested in any number of static analysis tools.
Try, VisualAssist X from http://www.wholetomato.com/
This is a VS plugin with support right from VC6-VS2010
(for VC6 I would say, it is as good as ReSharper)
JetBrains is working on C++ support for upcoming version of ReSharper.
It is currently available in closed beta.
ReSharper for C++ is available at public EAP - http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/cpp.html

I've encountered SharpDevelop a few times before but I don't know anyone who actually programs in it. Would you recommend it for medium size projects in C#?
Subquestions: Is there a difference in speed of compiling? (Article is about multi-threading compliling in SharpDevelop)
Thanks for answers!
There is absolutely no compelling reason to choose SharpDevelop over Visual Studio if you have the choice and the budget.
Visual Studio is by far the best IDE on the market, and I have used quite a few.
And, as Marty says in comments, he is a student. At http://www.dreamspark.com any student can get free, full professional versions of most all of the Visual Studio and Windows SKU's.
Visual Studio is also offered without cost in less featured versions labeled 'Express'
If you are not a student (or don't know one, wink wink) and on a budget, and the VS express versions don't have the features you need, then SharpDevelop would be a good way to go.
I am not an MS fanboy, just in case you are wondering.
I am running SharpDevelop in a Windows VM on a macbook air, which has only a 256G solid state "hard disk", so I need to keep the VM package as small as possible. An installation of Visual Studio, by the time all its updates had been installed, increased the size of the VM package by about 8G. Too big. And why does it take so long to install? what is it doing to the registry? So why spend several hundred pounds on Visual Studio when SharpDevelop is free and tiny by comparison?
For people who need opensource.... eclipse for example would have never been so successful without Open Source
Complete list for Feature comparison (VS Express vs SharpDevelop):
http://community.sharpdevelop.net/blogs/mattward/pages/VisualStudioExpressComparison.aspx
If you have a full license for Visual Studio and are going to write only Windows programs for only yourself or a business, then there would be no incentive.
However, if you wanted to use the C# language and the .NET-style for an Open Source project, or one that is compatible across many platforms, you'd probably choose to use Mono instead of .NET and SharpDevelop instead of VS.
i have tried it for VB.NET couple of years, didn't like the IDE.
After i tried i used the Express Editions for C#/VB.NET (2005).
Now i've a msdn premium account from my company, thats why i only use the Team Systems (home/work).
I think VS is imo the best IDE to develop with the .NET Framework.

I have my original CD housing for my copy of Visual Studio 2008 Standard. Therefore I still have my key. I have trial versions of 2008 and 2010, and Express versions of both, but can't find a place to enter my CD key.
What am I suppose to do? I lost my CD. Should I just call MSFT and ask them what to do?
To upgrade Visual Studio 2008 Trial
Edition
On the Start menu, click Control
Panel.
In Control Panel, open Add or Remove
Programs.
Select Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Professional and then click
Change/Remove.
On the Visual Studio 2008 Maintenance
screen, enter the product key in the
section Upgrade to Visual Studio 2008
Professional and then click Upgrade.
Linkage
The article is for VS2005 but I've done it a few times with my copy of VS2008.
If you need to get a replacement disk, it looks like a call to Microsoft's Sales Department will be able to get you started.
It has to be done manually.
In this article we will briefly describe how we can change the Visual Studio 2008 product key. As we know Visual Studio 2008 Trial doesn’t allow to change the product key and it shows as grayed out.
