# #develop (short for SharpDevelop) 

##Overview

 #develop is a free Integrated Development Environment
(IDE) for C#, VB.NET, Boo, IronPython, IronRuby and F# projects on Microsoft's
.NET platform. It is written (almost) entirely in C#, and comes with features 
you would expect in an IDE plus a few more.

The #develop project started on September 11th, 2000. The project was initiated
by Mike Krüger. In the course of the project, several contributors joined in.
