Good job, Claudia! You articulate well so you're easy to understand, you give clear explanations, and you present easy-to-follow directions. Bravo!

My computer has a weird setup. I was running vs code x86. .NET detected that and installed that architecture. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything. I'm having problems as I installed the compatible version with my computer. C# Dev kit requires an x64 architecture install. Yet, I've tried running x64 and for some reason it says that my computer is not compatible. Then when i install the compatible version it says that C# dev kit requires x64. I'm going crazy trying to use this. Never had any issues before for any other dev projects. Why am I on a Windows machine with so many issues?

I know this is for C# but can this be compatible with VB?

[sagarjoshi]

you seem to be missing several elements on line 4 that prevent the code from compiling! please fix.

The "Open in Integrated Terminal" seems to open in another location than the open solution.
PS

Thus "dotnet run" can't find and run the currently open project.

Trying to relocate to the correct folder and further testing revealed that my path which used brackets*, was the showstopper.
If I where a total beginner and not experienced with IT and the numerous quirks, this would probably have made me stop here.

*) I had "[CleanUp]" in the folder name, as it had become messy after lots of playing around and I should take time to — clean it's subfolders.

The title of this video is "Installing.... for BEGINNERS" what was that last word? "BEGINNERS"! so where did this little program suddenly pop up from? What does each line do? Why am I troubleshooting it? Many years ago, I programmed in C, so I have some chance of fixing your code. What would an absolute BEGINNER do?

You said "go ahead and..." no fewer than nine times.

[TalesbyIreneUlaeto]

when I run the code it just shows 'hello world' it doesn't run 'what is your name' did I get anything wrong? this is the code: Console.WriteLine("What is your name?");
var name = Console.ReadLine();
var currentDate = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine($"{Environment.NewLine}Hello, {name}, on {currentDate:d}");
any key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey(true);
