Alright, I've been spoiled enough already by IDEs, and I want to learn how to use the prompt to compile code.
Where can I find good learning material, me being completely oblivious to the matter? To be more specific, I'd like to know how to use C#'s csc.exe fully, though I hope that the knowledge will be appliable to other compilers as well.
Most compilers (as well other command line tools) provide help by using "/?" option - read it and in most cases it is enough to get simple code compiled.
For more real cases use project files
*.csproj for C#/ *.vbproj for VB.Net , use MSBuild to build. You already have them if you ever created project in VS.
makefiles for many other compilers

Instead of needing something like Java, is there a way I could make a program that has a small piece of machine code to compile itself?
It is theoretically possible. But in practice, it would be a lot of work, and the result would not be a small program. In fact, it would be roughly equivalent in size and functionality / complexity to a standard JVM. Which leads to the obvious point that it is unlikely to be worth the effort.
I suggest that you just use a standard JVM, and leverage the (probably) hundreds of man-years of effort that the implementors have put into building high quality JIT compilers ...

I let the Crypto Obfuscator run over my program and i got an .exe file with all DLLs and everything in it. Thats really great but i need to create an installer out of it.
It should cost no time and have a graphical UI!
Whats the best (free) way to do this?
Are there any programs?
There are a few solutions:
Inno Setup and NSIS are popular free and open source scripted installer creators.
If you prefer having a graphical interface, the free InstallSimple and Clickteam's Install Creator are common choices.
For more alternatives, Wikipedia has a page entitled "List of installation software" providing a decent overview of what's available.
(Sorry about the lack of hyperlinks - the site's spam prevention system won't allow me to post more.)
Its in Visual Studio :)

You can use Nullsoft Scriptable Install System

College student about to major in CS. Just want to know if it really matter what language you learn first?
Seems to me CS and the nature of our work is about problem solving. Different language seems to differ in syntax, libraries you can use, etc. etc. But when it comes down to it, if you know how to solve a particular problem in one language, you could do it in other languages as well right? I mean surely some languages are better tools and can do a more elegant job, but at the end of the day the ideas are still the same right?
It doesn't matter what language you use. The algorithm underneath is the main thing that matters.

Is there a feature equivalent to C#'s regions for being able to group code into named blocks and collapse and expand them?
Alternatively, are there any workarounds or third party tools available to achieve the same result?
One possible workaround might be using F# Outlining VS Extension that provides //#region outlining functionality. I use it with VS2010 for couple of months without any problems and find it very convenient:
[-]//#region Region Name
--lines of F# code--
--lines of F# code--
--lines of F# code--
//#endregion
with one click collapses to
[+]Region Name
and back.
I found times ago (out of mine curiosity) the link the was searching on for asking this question.
If you look at Regions and navigation bar for F# in Visual Studio the guy seems implemented an experimental feature. Post of firsts of 2012, so it's pretty fresh stuff.
Should say that I didn't try it till now.
Good luck.

I want to convert a perl application to c#. Is there any tools to convert perl script to c# code?
No. The difference between the class libraries would be very difficult to bridge, even if you were able to do the basic syntax.
There are perl .NET compilers I heard.
May be some is commercial, may be some is free, I don't know, but of course I guess they are not too mature.
In the same time they can be useful...
You can compile pieces of your perl code in .NET and then decompile with red gate .NET Reflector or any other good C# decompiler to obtain a C# code.
You cannot do copy and paste but it can help.
