Currently, I am using VS as an editor and relying on remote build via Sierra Chart. I have so many weak areas in my knowledge base that I am taking things very slowly. Right now my focus is on getting my simple ACS reasonably performant while also getting into a Git-based editing cycle. I'm a 50+ year-old Python script-kiddie who is finally trying to learn some C/C++, and I am just happy when I can get a clean compile on my simple ~200 lines of ACSIL.

I spent 2024 doing a lot of time in the Sierra Chart spreadsheet world, because I am much more comfortable in the Excel/Python/Pandas world of low-tech data analysis (I'm a manager type, not a comp sci guy). But like I grew beyond what I could achieve with Excel and started dabbling in Python for my data analysis needs in business, I recently decided to start getting serious about C++ to further my Sierra Chart abilities. It also helps that C/C++ are on my study path for some embedded development projects that I'm working on in my spare time.

If you have any recommended learning sources for leveraging the power of Visual Studio for ACSIL development, I would be most grateful.
