How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me, a beginner - annie's blog (anniemueller.com)

if I’m unable to get that version of your IDE, the tutorial becomes useless.

No it doesn't. Clicking on the link gives you the latest version, which obviously is above the minimum version.

without unnecessary concealment of basic information dependent on an IDE

Haven't concealed anything - it's there in the pre-requisites

“I did this in my IDE: here’s what it did”

I have many screenshots showing exactly that.

The reader could in principle use any text editor

No they can't. Several times I cover the Intellisense options which make it easy. This isn't available in a text editor, hence the pre-requisite of using Visual Studio if you want to follow this blog.

It’s not an IDE tutorial

It's not meant to be. It covers what you need to know to do what I have done in the blog.

And you made another Microsoft-grade tutorial

Nope! They don't include pre-requisites at all, never mind links to them, never mind step-by-step processes with screenshots, etc.
