So, I want to learn C#, C++, and Java. Those are my plans for the future at least! I've learned some python as well but it took me reading and practicing the language for a month to finally understand that it's not used for game development. What interests me is game development so I stopped working on it and wanted to start learning C# but there is a big difference with everything. First, it's not just installing the language and starting to learn I had to do a lot of stuff like getting to know about the .NET Framework, .NET Core which I think is called just .NET 5.0, the Xamarin, and .NET Standart. I've got some information about them and then downloaded .NET CORE 3.1 so I could code with C# in VS 2019 but when I get in the IDE and try to start a new project I search up console applications and only C++ projects are displayed. My .NET Core works also I checked the same way it says to check after installing with the dotnet command in the terminal.
I can't find any stuff about C#. How do I make a console app where I use C#?
Also, I upgraded VS 2019 to the latest version!
