Hi!
I want to start learning how to code and was recommended to use Visual Studio. But i dont really understand the difference between Visual Studio Code and Microsoft Visual Studio.
Which should i download?
You can use either so try them both!
I prefer visual studio just because that's what I've always used.
I keep trying to use VSCode because I generally like "lightweight" tools, but with C#, full visual studio seems to have better support.
If you are doing frontend stuff like JavaScript or HTML/CSS, VSCode is plenty.
For historical info, Visual Studio Code is a newcomer that is open source. Microsoft has been moving more and more into open source and VSCode was something that came out of that push. They needed something they could build cross platform on and full Visual Studio has always been windows only.
u/makingloops u/revrenlove So im going into Python (because someone told me thats a good and easy language to begin with) and if i understand this correctly, python is back-end(?) So is Visual studio what i should use then? Or should i download support for Python to Visual Code instead?
