Are you ready to start your programming career? Get started with programming with the king of programming languages, C++. In this episode, we will get your development environment set up and explore some basic concepts in programming.

Be ready to go when the class starts by pre-installing development tools! There are many, many options, and you can use whatever you want.

To keep things simple though, if you have a Windows PC or Mac, please install Visual Studio Community and choose the “Desktop development with C++” workload. (VisualStudio.com)

If you have Linux or Mac, you will need to first install G++.
“sudo apt install build-essential”
You will also need an editor or development tool. I recommend Visual Studio Code (not the same as Visual Studio Community). See (https://code.visualstudio.com/) for instructions on installing on various flavors of linux

As a new programmer, you will need to know about some basic concepts in programming before we dive into actual code. These concepts are VERY important as a basis for moving forward.

Join Chuck every Wednesday for the next episode in C++ programming!
