To get the most out of this book

You will need the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio Code installed on your Windows computer.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.

After you finish with the book, we recommend you try to solve the challenges hosted by Microsoft Q# using Silq language for more programming practice!

You can find those challenges in the following links:

Microsoft coding contest 2018: https://codeforces.com/contest/1002/
Microsoft coding contest 2019: https://codeforces.com/contest/1116/
Some of the challenges, solved using Silq, have been given in the Silq documentation: https://silq.ethz.ch/examples
