[GO Beginner Basics Chapter 3] Installing GO, Visual Studio, and GitHub Using Homebrew Commands Part 2

Once Homebrew is installed, we will use Homebrew's commands to install GOLANG, Visual Studio, and GitHub.

 

What is Visual Studio? (Visual Studio) When you want to write something, what tool do you use? Probably a 'word processor' program. Visual Studio is like a 'word processor' for computer programming. Programmers use Visual Studio to write code that gives instructions to the computer. This is similar to writing, but in this case, it's done using a computer language. Visual Studio helps to easily write, read, and modify this code. It also assists in ensuring that the programs created by programmers work correctly.

 

What is GitHub? (GitHub) GitHub is like a large library on the internet. However, instead of books, it stores code written by programmers. Programmers can store their projects on GitHub and share them with others. This allows others to view, use, or even improve the code.
