Happy Monday! 😊

Greetings!

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! I can say that mine was pretty enjoyable. There was a Software Development workshop that I was able to attend and I can say that we covered some pretty interesting information. Those things included the following:

  • Downloading Visual Studio Code
  • Creating .html, .js, and .css files
  • Creating folders, using CLI (Command Line Interface)
  • Exploring .NET and C# in VS Code

Such useful information and 4 hours well-spent!

Looking forward to a great week and hoping the same, for you! As always, have a wonderful day! 😊

(Other great prizes accompany this, as well 😉).
