Developing for ASP.NET-MVC without Visual Studio

Instead of writing my ASP.NET C# applications in Visual Studio, I used my favorite text editor UltraEdit32.

Is there any way I can implement MVC without the use of VS?

It's really difficult to try and learn an entirely new language/framework under pressure. If you're required to deliver working software for your day job, trying to learn ASP.NET Core at the same time might be heaping too much pressure on yourself.

There is nothing VS specific with the MVC framework - it is just a bunch of DLLs that you can use. The wizards in VS just build you a quick-start framework.

ASP.NET MVC is "bin-deployable" - there is nothing too clever to set up on the server either - just point the wildcard ISAPI filter to ASP.NET

Assuming you have the correct assemblies and a C# compiler you in theory can use whatever you want to edit the code and then just run the compiler by hand or using a build script. That being said it is a real pain doing .NET development without Visual Studio/SharpEdit/Monodevelop in my opinion.
