C# is a very nice language and the documentation is top-notch; it
probably has the best documentation of any stack [ with Java being near
the bottom of readable documentation ]. And Monodevelop is a fabulous
cross-platform IDE.
Another one to look at is Python. You can probably get off-the-ground
faster in Python. The documentation is fair to good and the core
[standard library in Python parlance] is quite good and reasonably
complete. Python poses some problems for large solutions or code bases
[Python has sloppy types vs. the virtuous strict types of C#] but that
doesn't really matter if you are just starting out.
