Summary

In this chapter, we showed how Windows Terminal can be used in all parts of our workflow when we're developing C# applications.

We used Windows Terminal to generate applications from templates, giving us an initial starting point for our application. We then used Windows Terminal as a core tool for building, running, and testing our application.

We also set up several useful command-line tools. We started out by adding a C# tab to Windows Terminal, using the dotnet script tool, which allows us to easily test C# syntax and libraries. We also used the Microsoft HTTP REPL tool to test our Web API.

Now we've built both client-side software (in the previous chapter) and server-side software (in this chapter) with Windows Terminal. Next, we'll look at connecting to remote machines with Windows Terminal, which is a critical step in deploying and managing our software.
