Setting up a Windows 11 workstation from scratch for Web API development.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------

When I watch some people coding online their workstation and IDE setup just works so well, I wanted to start documenting how to create that type of setup. The competence of the setup itself is just so powerful.

This video series is my attempt to document how to create that competent workstation setup.

I understand that this will be a moving target as tools and systems change, I also know I will miss things and there will be other better ways to do this, so I hope others will comment with ways to improve this setup so we all can have that cool powerful setup to code on.
