TStep 1: do you have the .NET SDK installed?
TMicrosoft
Free downloads for building and running .NET apps on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Runtimes, SDKs, and developer packs for .NET Framework, .NET, and ASP.NET.
TIf you don't have the SDK, download and install it.
TOnce you have the SDK installed:
- Open your terminal of choice and run
dotnet new console -n "MyAwesomeProject" - run
cd MyAwesomeProject - Run
dotnet run, which should display the textHello, World!. If it does this, you've installed everything properly. - Now run
code ., or just open theMyAwesomeProjectfolder in VSCode. - Congratulations! The folder contains two files: a
Program.cswhich is the file you'll be writing your code in, and aMyAwesomeProject.csprojfile which is just some metadata about the project itself (which you don't need to worry about). - Start editing
Program.csand do whatever you want. - ???
- profit

TExtension for Visual Studio Code - Official C# extension from Microsoft
TAlso, some notes about how C# works:
Program.csis the main file of your project, it contains the code that will be run first when you run your project.- There can only be one file in the project directly containing statements (like
Console.WriteLine) outside aclass. You can have more than one file in your project obviously, but those have to contain classes and cannot directly contain code. - If you want to some other piece of code to run when you run your project, you'll have to create a new project.
TAnd lastly, $helloworld is a great start if you're looking for a more thorough tutorial
Palr thanks for the notes

TYeah, it can be intimidating on how to start
TIt's a lot more complex to set up than something like Python or Javascript
Pyep i tried python and settled in pretty quickly cuz its really easy to read, doubt im gonna be as fast with this one tbh
Pjust looking at basic c# code intimidates me lmao
