Prerequisite Information

Here's the needed software list again if anyone isn't set up

For Mac you might need to run Windows virtually or follow this guide to install SQL Server: https://database.guide/how-to-install-sql-server-on-a-mac/

Needed software (all free to download and cross-platform)

• Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition - https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
• SQL Server Developer Edition - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads - be sure to install all developer tools. after install, make sure you have SQL Server Tools --> SQL Management Studio installed
• Git - https://git-scm.com/downloads - this is for versioning
• GitHub account -  https://github.com/ - sign up for this - we will be storing our code here. this and Git combined allow you to have version control so you can view old versions, compare, etc.
• Zoom - download/make an account https://zoom.us/

If you have any questions or concerns about installing any of these let me know.

This is the Material we are going to cover, and some references to get you started:

• C# - This is a Microsoft language, free and open-source - reference guide
• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/
• Entity Framework - this is the portion of C# that allows the language to speak to SQL more easily
• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/get-started/overview/first-app?tabs=netcore-cli
• HTML - this is the formatting language websites are composed of. 
• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Introduction_to_HTML/Getting_started
