- [Instructor] Before we can begin developing our applications, we'll first need to set up our development environment. In order to develop my asp.net core application, I'm going to be using the Visual Studio IDE. So if you don't already have Visual Studio installed, you're going to want to do that now by heading over to visualstudio.com and downloading it there. Once you get to the download page, make sure that you download the Visual Studio IDE and not Visual Studio Code or any of the other options that might be available. I'll be using the community edition of Visual Studio throughout this course, but you'll be able to follow along with the professional and enterprise versions as well. Next, you'll need to ensure that you have also installed the proper .NET Core SDK version, which you can find by visiting asp.net. Once here, download and install the latest version of the .NET Core Framework, not the .NET Framework, which is different. If you see a choice between the runtime or the SDK, go ahead and choose the SDK option. This course currently shows how to use version 2.2 of the framework, which is the latest version at the time of this recording. By the time you're watching this, however, it's very likely that version 3.0 or higher of the framework has been released. Don't worry. Everything I show you in this course should work just fine with a higher version of the framework. So feel free to get whatever the latest version is and try it out. However, if you do decide to use another version of either Visual Studio or .NET Core and begin having problems following the course, you might want to drop down to version 2.2 in order to duplicate exactly what I'm doing without any issues.
