Generative Artificial Intelligence Training - Installing Python and VS Code
First of all, it is necessary to set up a development environment on Windows 11 desktop (or your favourite OS) and learn to write code in Visual Code. We are going to use the Python programming language to make all samples and end-to-end programs, so we will first teach you to set up your development environment. There are many IDEs available for the development and testing of Python projects. Visual Studio code is one of most used, feature rich and easy to learn application development IDE. So, let's get started and set up our development environment.
In this tutorial we are going to install Anaconda Python and after that install Visual Studio code.
