Setting up your development environment

An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) in C# is a powerful software tool designed to streamline and enhance the entire development process. It provides a central workspace where programmers can write, edit, compile, and debug their C# code. Additionally, C# IDEs offer features like code completion, project management, and error checking, making it easier for developers to create, test, and maintain C# applications efficiently. Visual Studio 2022 is one of the most popular IDEs for C#.
