Technical requirements
To follow along with this chapter and the rest of the book, you need to know the basic concepts of the C# programming language and the fundamentals of web development.
The development process will require Visual Studio 2022 Community, which can be downloaded for free for Windows devices from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community, and for macOS devices from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/mac/.
Alternatively, you can use Visual Studio Code for any OS (Windows, macOS, or Linux) by downloading it from https://code.visualstudio.com/download.
If you are not going to be installing Visual Studio 2022, you need to make sure that the .NET 7.0 SDK is available on your computer. This SDK generally gets downloaded along with Visual Studio 2022. If you don’t have the SDK, you can install it from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download.
In later chapters, we will mostly be using Visual Studio 2022 for Windows, but all the concepts will be applicable to Visual Studio for Mac and Visual Studio Code with the .NET CLI.
