This is a list of developer tools we use and recommend.

Visual Studio

This is the main tool that we live in all day long and is the primary tool for .NET development. I recommend Visual Studio 2010 Pro or higher versions. For upstart web developers, you probably qualify for a free license via the Microsoft Website Spark Program.
