[NFBCS] resources for learning Visual Studio and C#

[Simon Gaudiuso]

Hi Sean,

Sorry for your pain.

If it an option at work I would suggest using Visual studio 2022, it is more accessible.
The following link talk about how to enable Audio cues, for  Visual Studio 2022, for breakpoint, error and warning.
Listen Up, Visual Studio has a new feature you need to hear about! - Visual Studio Blog (microsoft.com)<https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/audio-cues-in-visual-studio-2022-17-3-preview-2/>

To view errors, you can press Control  + w, e. or from the Menu,  View->Error List
As for Pluralsight, I personally prefer to read the transcript, and  there is usually Exercise Files associated with the training.

And for the Lightbulb icon, I believe you can press Control + . (period), to view suggestions.

If you are learning the language/Visual studio  I would practice with  a Console application project.

Feel free to ask any question.

Simon

I am in need for good training on how to use Visual Studio 2019 and learn C#.  The resources I've found so far are geared toward a sighted audience.  I am bewildered by visual Studio's number of options, can't determine how to make the audio cues helpful and don't know how to deal with the lightbulb icon sighted folks can see when there's a mistake in their code.  For C#, we have used Pluralsite at work, but these training videos don't contain text or code examples.  For example, it took me forever to realize one has to type dotnet not period net in to the command line to start compiling.  An on-line or instructor lead training more geared to the blind would be useful to me.  Thanks for your help.
Sean
