Appendix
Visual Studio, VS Code + C# Dev Kit, and Rider can use the same code solution file and projects.
To use the solution file with VS Code:
- Install the C# Dev Kit extension.
- In VS Code, open the folder that contains a
.slnsolution file. - Wait for the SOLUTION EXPLORER pane to appear in the EXPLORER.
Warning! If you use multiple code editors to open the same solution, be aware that the build process can conflict. This is because Visual Studio has its own non-standard build server that is different from the standard build server used by .NET SDK CLI. My recommendation is to only have a solution open in one code editor at any time.
You can "clean" a solution between opening it in different code editors, either using the dotnet clean command or manually. For example, after closing the solution in one code editor, I often delete the bin and obj folders before then opening in a different code editor.

Announcing the New Foundational C# Certification with freeCodeCamp: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-foundational-csharp-certification/
Microsoft used to have professional exams and certifications for developers that covered skills like C# and ASP.NET. Sadly, they have retired them all. These days, the only developer-adjacent exams and certifications are for Azure or Power Platform, as you can see from the certification poster: https://aka.ms/traincertposter
