Visual Studio Code - KevinDHeath/Samples GitHub Wiki

Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. It comes with built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js and has a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages and run-times (such as C++, C#, Java, Python, PHP, Go, .NET).
See Installed Software for a list of extensions I use.
