How To Use Visual Studio for Beginners

Coding can be a daunting task sometimes. How exactly do you start coding?

But fortunately, all of these issues are taken care of with what is called an “Integrated Development Environment” or IDE for short. With an IDE, you can write, build, and run your code all with one application! How simple!

Visual Studio is a classic IDE in the coding world. I’ve used it at both of my jobs and I would say it’s probably my favorite one! It’s the first IDE that I started using almost 10 years ago and I still use it today!

Today, we’ll go over Visual Studio on Mac, but it’s basically the same as the Windows version.
