Synopsis: If Visual Studio is already installed, skip this post.
This is not insisting that MS Visual Studio be used. Any programming platform is suitable. All discussions on this website may revolve around Visual Basic which I have been using since 2007. Keep in mind, Visual Basic is used as the demonstration platform, but the programmer determines which language to use. My goal is to blog on software development techniques.
Step 1: Download a version of Visual Studio: Free Developer Software & Services – Visual Studio (microsoft.com)
Step 2: Follow the instructions as the download progresses.
