Back in 1993 in C with Foodstuffs Auckland. A lot has changed since then

Especially since my project will require a basic 3d terrain. However I
have seen a Microsoft video demoing a 3d display using C# on a mobile
device. So I intend to run some tests before making any decisions.

I have to agree anything to do with dot net you are best to learn C# now
as support on the net is huge from both camps, especially Microsoft. As
to best IDE to use will that will come down to what best suits the
individual. Just hope my decision is not made for me by Codegear's delay
in getting what I require to market.
