Understanding C# basics

Let's start by looking at the basics of the grammar and vocabulary of C#. In this chapter, you will create multiple console applications, each showing a feature of the C# language.

Each console application requires a project. Often developers want to open multiple projects at the same time. You can do this by adding projects to a solution.

To manage these projects with Visual Studio 2017, we will put them all in a single solution. Visual Studio 2017 can only have one solution open at any one time, but each solution can group together multiple projects. A project can build a console application, a Windows desktop application, a web application, and dozens of others.

To manage these projects with Visual Studio Code, which does not support solutions, we will manually create a container folder named Chapter02. If you would like to use Visual Studio Code, skip to the section titled Using Visual Studio Code on macOS, Linux, or Windows.
