ASP.NET MVC development with Notepad?
asp.net-mvc, c#, ide, visual-studio
Solution
You need a compiler, but you could use Notepad as your editor if you really wanted to. However, I would recommend using Visual Studio - it has all the help and support (IntelliSense etc.) you need.
You can download the Visual Studio Express edition for web development for free. The MVC extensions work with this.
Problem
So do I NEED Visual Studio of some flavor to do ASP.NET MVC development or could I technically do it all with a simple text editor? If YES, please tell me the catches, like if there is anything special I would have to do besides making the folder structure right and making sure my code is solid, etc.
