Optimal Coding Environment

Eli Weitzman edited this page May 28, 2023 · 1 revision

Thanks to the power of Windows, the requirements for contributing in an optimal environment are quite easy to attain. For an idea of what it takes, here's my current software setup!

  • Windows 11 (or 10, but only on Windows unfortunately. No Windows Forms on Mac or Linux atm)
  • 64-Bit Windows (Can be done on ARM64, but is verrryyy slow... it's currently how I do a lot of my work at present though)
  • .NET Runtime installed on machine (needs Windows Forms library)
  • Visual Studio Code - this one is optimal, unless you're a hardcore PowerShell ISE user...
  • VS Code PowerShell Extension - Adds scripting ability in VSCode
  • GitHub Copilot (Optional, and slightly controversial, but a good tool for those who are entry-level! It helped me out personally to learn more about scripting.)
