if u r on windows i also highly recommend using Visual Studio (not Visual Studio Code)
and start with .NET 8, abandon everything that is .NET Framework related (thats just legacy u dont want to get involved with unless u must)
I already use vscode. Used it for python
Do i need to install .NET8?
yeah thats what i expected (i use it for python too)
but for C# Visual Studio is just so much better. VSC is a text editor with a good extension system, while VS is designed especially for C# (and a bit more)
Aight
with VS u get an installer that does a lot for u besides just installing .NET and the IDE (depending on what u want to do later u can adjust ur "workloads" which will pull in the necessary libraries and tools)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/windows#install-with-visual-studio
Install .NET on Windows - .NET
Learn about which versions of .NET SDK and .NET Runtime are supported, and how to install .NET on Windows.
if u want to use VSC u will have to install .NET on ur own
the workloads can be managed afterwards via CLI as well
but VS is just a lot more beginner friendly
(and later u dont want to switch to a inferior thing like VSC unless u dont have a choice)
Cool, i will start learning in a few hours than
I have 2 month vacation before i start c# course i will try to get a advantage
lets all stay in a minute of silence and pray that it will teach modern .NET 😂
I hope so
They were saying you need to install .NET8
So idk
u want the SDK (software development kit), runtimes bring only the necessities to execute stuff
once thats downloaded and installed follow that ⤴️ link for VS
Alr thx
