A simple C# console application to get my cousin started in on programming.
You will need to download visual studio onto your computer to run this application. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&channel=Release&version=VS2022&source=VSLandingPage&cid=2030&passive=false
Once you have visual studio you can open a new solution by opening the HelloWorld > Hello > Hello.sln file
Once in visual studio you can choose Run > Run HelloFriend. This will open up an interactive console window that will ask for your name. This application also comes with tests to make sure that the code is working correctly. You can run those by choosing tests > run tests.
I have made extensive comments in this application. Normally I shun comments because code should read like well written prose, but because you are new to the programming experience I have added comments to explain what I am doing in great detail.
I would encourage you to play around with the application and try to get it to do something different... maybe change the word friend to something else. Remember to adjust the tests FIRST and then the code... then run unit tests to make sure that they pass... once they pass run your main program and make sure your changes are what you desire! More importantly.... HAVE FUN. Make the program do something neat!
