How can I run C# code in Visual Studio Code?

C#
#1

I’m currently starting Mosh’s C#'s first course, but I won’t be coding with Visual Studio Community, as he says us to. That’s because the software it installs in my computer really slows it down.

Anyway, I was wondering what do I need to set or install to get started.

Hey,

Install Visual Studio Code which is lightweight and free, add C# extension. Use the terminal in VS code to create the project you want (type dotnet new -l) to list all the templates you can create project from. Then run the project by typing dotnet run or dotnet watch run

You would also need to install the .NET SDK from Microsoft’s website.
