✅ About to start my journey, which IDE for Windows?
Hi all, so I'm planning to start my journey into C# and was wondering what IDE I should go for. Now I have both a macbook that I use at work and a Windows PC at home. For the macbook I decided to go for Rider, seeing as it's free, I have access to an educational license and VS support from Microsoft has stopped.
However, I was wondering if I should go for Rider on Windows as well, or if I should go for VS instead. I have no experience with C# at all just yet, so as of now I have no preference for either.

just go for rider on both systems then
FYI you can't use an educational license for commercial use, you need a paid license for that
other than that, i would use the same IDE everywhere so you only have to learn one to start
Rider is amazing, no reason not to use it on all platforms if you can
oh that I know, but considering I haven't even written a single line of code, I don't think i'd have to worry to much about using the IDE for commercial use xD
right, just saying if you put it on your work PC then your IT department might take issue with the license you're using
oh no not at all, i'm a teacher anyway :kekw:
ah, then that's the license you should be using :LUL:
jup, that's why i got it haha
kind of surprised they still have an educational license considering it's free for non-commercial use
also a teacher at the computer science department
The educational license gives you free access to any of their software. Don't think there's any real difference between te non-commercial use version and this one.
