I am going to learn F#. In my lecturer notes, they have simply asked to open VS 2010, open project, select other languages and select F# ! I have VS 2010 express, and everything is separated into different software like Visual C++, Visual C# etc, there is no F# !
In this thread (Is F# 3.0 available on Visual Studio 2010 professional?) I found it is in VS 2012 express so I downloaded it. But, again I can't find F#!
How to make a F# project in VS express? Please help!
EDIT
At least, is this is available in Visual Studio 2010 Professional? Please help!
Download Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web (it is important, you cannot use F# with Visual Studio Express 2012 for Desktop or other), then install F# Tools for Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web. Full description how to do this is on msdn blog

Hi guys im using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, but in my college, all of the computers using microsoft visual Studio 2012. Is there is possible if i save my project (from visual studio 2013) then i open it on visual studio 2012?
Visual Studio 2013 has a feature called "Solution Round Tripping", which means that a solution created in Visual Studio 2012, under certain circumstances, can be edited by both Visual Studio 2012 and 2013.
There are limitations though, as you can't open a solution in 2012 that uses new features or frameworks that are not available in 2012. Makes sense right? Generally, when you create the solution in 2012 and then open it in 2013, your chances are high.
What is the difference between purchasing Visual Studio 2010 Express, and downloading Visual Web Developer 2010 Express?
Although I created a company website using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express (I love this product!), I'm not an experienced programmer. But I'm wondering if Visual Studio 2010 Express is just as good, or better, and if it will do the same things as VWD.
I just can't google any good links that compares the two.
Microsoft has it:
MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO - microsoft.com
and Definition of
Microsoft Visual Studio Express - Wikipedia
Just click on learn more in each product to see their differences.

On the "Visual Studio Express 2010" disk VS2010Express.iso which I downloaded from Microsoft it turned out that Visual Studio Express consist of:
Visual C#,
Visual Basic,
Visual C++,
"Visual Web developer".
So to answer the original question here I think that Visual Web developer is one part of the whole disk called Visual Studio. But don't go there if you do not have to:
I am currently upgrading from Visual Studio 2008 because of the bug in .Net 2.0 / 3.5 related to not being able to work with (not recognizing) Internet Explorer 10, but now I get bugs related to App_GlobalResources. The whole Globalization function just does not work anymore. I am in a Hackathon nightmare of 48 hours trying to survive. I think that MS wanted to get you all on board with the free express edition but it is payback time now. I think I am going back to Uniface which is upward compatible. Once again, there is no such thing as free!!!
I use C# and asp.net in visual studio 2008 standard. I just found out that there is no Visual studio 2010 standard.
I can't really afford Visual studio 2010 Pro.
So what am I going to lose when (if) I start using
C# 2010 express
web dev 2010 express
Have a look at this question, it has a complete list.
Prices were leaked here: Microsoft names Visual Studio 2010 dates. There is no Standard edition, Visual Studio 2010 Professional will be priced at $799, ooouuuuch!!!
I'm using the express editions of VS 2010 and here's what I've found to be missing compared to VS 2008 Pro:
No support for plugins at all (e.g. no Resharper or what not)
No windows Service template (this is really odd as this exists in VS 2008 C# express edition, so it must've been removed from 2008 express to 2010 express)
And that's pretty much it, there are probably other things missing too, however I haven't come across anything else.
I've used VS 2008 express editions at home for a long time (and now 2010 express), but run VS 2008 Pro at work.
Is there any way to work with F# on Visual Studio 2010 Expression Edition. I am having Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition Beta 2.
There won't be Visual F# Express but you can use the free Visual Studio Shell (wich is available for 2008 and 2010) with F#. It works perfectly for 2008 but I have not tested it with 2010.
Update:
The release of F# 2.0 works with the 2010 Integrated shell as well; see Don Syme's blog post "Announcing the F# 2.0 Free Tools Update".
Update:
Visual F# tools 3.1.1 now support VS Express for Desktop and VS Express for Web
Unfortunately, there are no plans to include an F# Express edition for Visual Studio 2010. The express editions for 2010 are:
Visual Basic 2010 Express
Visual Web Developer 2010 Express
Visual C# 2010 Express
Visual C++ 2010 Express
Source of above.
While F# is not included in VS2010 Express, it appears to be supported in VS2012 Express Web Edition.
Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web ... is a free
development environment that programmers can use to build projects
such as ASP.NET applications and Windows Azure cloud services. This F#
Tools release adds in F# 3.0 components, such as the F# 3.0 compiler,
F# Interactive, IDE support, and new F# features such as type
providers and query expressions.
