Summary
In this chapter, we:
- Set up your development environment.
- Discussed the similarities and differences between modern .NET, .NET Core, .NET Framework, Xamarin, and .NET Standard in an online article.
- Used Visual Studio and VS Code with the .NET SDK CLI to create a couple of simple console apps, grouped in a solution.
- Learned how to download the solution code for this book from its GitHub repository.
- Learned how to find help. This could be in the traditional way, by using help command switches, documentation, and articles, or the modern way, by having a conversation with a coding expert AI or using an AI-based tool to perform "grunt work."
In the next chapter, you will learn how to "speak" C#.
