This is Visual Studio Code Beginner C# Tutorial Video showing how Visual Studio Code is an open platform development platform that combines the simplicity of a source code editor with powerful developer tooling, like IntelliSense code completion and debugging.

I show you how to install Visual Studio Code using C# for beginners. In this tutorial, I walk you through everything. How to download, install even debug a 'Hello World' C# console application. From there you will be able to do anything your imagination desires.

We will be needing the .Net Core Framework so let's install that also. This tutorial will show you how. We are going to install Visual Studio Code and the .Net Core Framework SDK that it requires. I will show you everything in this how-to tutorial.

It is an editor that gets out of your way. The edit-build-debug cycle means less time fiddling with your environment, and more time executing on your ideas.

Available for macOS, Linux, and Windows
Visual Studio Code supports macOS, Linux, and Windows - so you can hit the ground running, no matter the platform.

Edit, build, and debug with ease with VS Code
At its heart, VS Code features a lightning fast source code editor, perfect for day-to-day use. With support for hundreds of languages, VS Code helps you be instantly productive with syntax highlighting, bracket-matching, auto-indentation, box-selection, snippets, and more. Intuitive keyboard shortcuts, easy customization and community-contributed keyboard shortcut mappings let you navigate your code with ease.

For serious coding, you'll often benefit from tools with more code understanding than just blocks of text. Visual Studio Code includes built-in support for IntelliSense code completion, rich semantic code understanding and navigation, and code refactoring.

And when the coding gets tough, the tough get debugging. Debugging is often the one feature that developers miss most in a leaner coding experience, so we made it happen. Visual Studio Code includes an interactive debugger, so you can step through source code, inspect variables, view call stacks, and execute commands in the console.

Visual Studio Code also integrates with build and scripting tools to perform common tasks making everyday workflows faster. VS Code has support for Git so you can work with source control without leaving the editor including viewing pending changes diffs.

Make it your own
Customize every feature to your desire, install any number of third-party extensions.

While most scenarios work out of box with no configuration, Visual Studio Code also grows with you, and we encourage you to optimize your experience to suit your unique needs. Visual Studio Code is an open source project so you can also contribute to the growing and vibrant community on GitHub.

love the way he's explaining so casual

[ricardovaras]

When eminem starts making programming videos.

[tayoomolola]

I didn't understand most of what the video is about, but at least I know what I'm getting into.

[fierydragon]

This is the best video I have ever seen thank you so much

[queiroz-rafael]

Thanks, grate video. Thanks for sharing.

[Hotrod_haji]

Thank you for patiently walking us through this. Can't wait to see more.

It's very hard to see the exact icons since the screen is at full scale. Would be very helpful if the particular area is zoomed in during the explanation.

[imrank]

Great tutorial. You did not have to do dotnet restore after dotnet new console

[freezaki]

love the detailed beginner friendly explanation

[marlena]

seriously it was a very very helpful video for me, thanks for that.

[dmitri]

Thank you, man. Is Linux Mono and Windows C# project are interchangeable, same runtime and can be loaded using Visual Studio Code?

[gameforest]

You are the first person to explain this to me successfully thank you very much

[apriljoymacatangay]

Thank you! This helped a lot. Hope you'll make more VS Code tutorials using C#. More power! God bless.

[Nnm]

Error:
dotnet : The term 'dotnet' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and
try again.

Really good tutorial! I got it working for a second!

Sidenote 2: Aha! I got it working! But now when I change the WriteLine from "Hello World" to something else, it still says the original WriteLine.


Sidenote1: Well I had it working, and then I didnt want to work. I think whats hard for me, as a beginner, is really trying to find what my issue is when I make a code. Luckily, most of the time it's simply not adding a ; or I need to change a uppercase letter to a lowercase, but when it gives those CS0017 errors or CS1514 errors, I don't really know what to look up. When I find an article I feel like it's talking way over my head. It's frusturating... But at the same damn time, when I get it working, especially a script for Unity, I'm like oh fuck yea! Come to life my wonky capsule block!

[moonunity]

This is a good job. Please continue your work ! Thank you very much !

According to microsoft docs:
Starting with .NET Core 2.0 SDK, you don't have to run dotnet restore because it's run implicitly by all commands that require a restore to occur, such as dotnet new, dotnet build and dotnet run. It's still a valid command in certain scenarios where doing an explicit restore makes sense, such as continuous integration builds in Azure DevOps Services or in build systems that need to explicitly control the time at which the restore occurs.

I installed .net core sdk, but when I type in dotnet new console, it says term "dotnet" is not recognised...
