Good day, I do have some knowledge about programming in windows. Quite some time ago. Delphi. Would like to try my hand at some programming for fun in linux suse. Kindly some advice on an "easy" program to use in suse please. Go to the Monodevelop site and do the 1-click install for the latest version. .NET is *extremely* well documented - something

If you come from Delphi, Turbo Pascal, or Borland OWL land you should be quite comfortable with .NET/Monodevelop. Thanks. Looked at it. Looks wonderful. Too heavy for my use. What on earth does "too heavy" mean?
Nothing. It means nothing. I always assume a statement like this is like when a newbie programmer [not yet a "developer"] looks at a complex application comprised of components and claims it is bloated and monolithic - which primarily means they can't perceive the individual components - which primarily means the application's developer(s) succeeded. So essentially it truly means either (a) nothing or (b) the exact opposite of what the speaker meant.
You don't want to install any software to support the activity of programming in said language? In that case, you'll have to stick to something that would otherwise be inadvisable from a standpoint of genericness, simplicity or basic programming language quality. That would include shell, Perl or C. (I'll refrain from stating which of those violate which of the stated criteria...)
