Visual Studio For Beginners - 2022 and Beyond (Applies in 2026)

The Visual Studio IDE is a platform used to build applications. It may seem simple to developers with experience, but Visual Studio for beginners can be both challenging and intimidating.

Unlike its cousin, VS Code, there's a little more to it than just plug-and-play when it comes to programming.

Whether you're a beginner just learning C# for the first time, or you've been using other text editors such as vim, sublime, notepad++, etc., and want to switch, this video can help.

UPDATE:

Dec 2025 - This video applies to Visual Studio 2026. The installation, setup, tab layout, and contents are almost identical to those of Visual Studio 2022.

VS Code is another popular code editor used by many developers worldwide that is an alternative to Visual Studio.

One major difference is that as an integrated development environment, Visual Studio offers a bit more when it comes to IntelliSense support and other features for languages like C# or C++.

Still, you can accomplish much with just VS Code.

The console app template in visual studio 2022 looks different because it's using global "using statements".

This means you don't have to add them at the top of each file since they'll be implicitly referenced by the compiler in .NET 6.
