To get the most out of this book
You will need the .NET 6 SDK version installed on your computer. The latest version of the SDK is included in the Visual Studio 2022 Community installation. All the code examples have been tested using .NET 6, and Visual Studio 2022 Community and Professional on Windows 11. However, they should work with the future version of .NET and also with Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio for Mac.

* For Linux users, you can use Visual Studio Code instead of Visual Studio 2022 Community. For macOS users, Visual Studio for Mac is the right tool. The SQL Server can be replaced with an in-memory database.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book’s GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
If you have not worked with Visual Studio before, I recommend looking for some tool overview tutorials on the Microsoft site or YouTube.
