Setting Up the Development Environment
Throughout this book, we’ll build (and incrementally improve) a CLI application using .NET. We are going to start by setting up our development environment, which means installing the necessary tools to get started building CLI applications.
To reinforce and consolidate your learning, thereby getting the most out of this book, I strongly recommend that you practice the demos I’ll be showing you and complete the suggested exercises in the Your turn! sections at the end of each chapter. To do that, you’ll need to have your development environment set up and properly configured.
More specifically, in this chapter, we’re going to do the following:
- Install Visual Studio Code
- Install the required extensions
- Install the .NET SDK
- Install and configure Git
