Book for Python & Visual Studio

I’ve been using Visual Studio Community Edition for a long time, but only now & then. I’ve played a little with Python and the IDLE interface & Anaconda. I’d like to try using Python through Visual Studio and looked for books to get started. All the ones I found mentioned Visual Studio Code, which seems like it might be different from Visual Studio Community Edition.

Is using Python and Visual Studio a reasonable thing to do? Can you suggest a path to get started?

I have not gotten that far yet but I have tried VS Code and I don’t care much for it. It’s hard to configure and to get to work right. And it puts a ton of junk in your output window. Neither Visual Studio nor Eclipse does that.

Start with console programs first. Lots of them. Then try some simple GUI’s.
