GitHub and VS Code Tools

GitHub and Visual Studio Code (VS Code) are two valuable tools for IT professionals to be familiar with and utilize and they will be important to the course of study at Code Fellows.

GitHub is an online resource for IT professionals. It contains toolsets for creating repositories of information such as notes, self-help guides and other information which can be useful in our studies and careers. More importantly, it enables sharing and cooperation between users where ideas can be shared, help can be given and obtained and projects can be collaborated on.

VS Code is an online tool for writing, editing and previewing the effects of code. It incorporates several common coding languages and many more are available through installable extensions. It has some very helpful features such as making suggestions based on what you begin to type and visual warnings if the code you enter is invalid. Once the code is written, it can be run through VS Code to see how it works. Finally, it can interact with GitHub to upload and download projects for sharing and collaborating.
