<p><b>MASTER VISUAL STUDIO CODE AND CUSTOMIZE IT TO MEET YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS</b> <p>Visual Studio Code offers a robust source code editor and development environment. It’s a free download that’s fast, lightweight, and available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Along with support for IntelliSense, refactoring capabilities, and an extensive ecosystem of extensions, it also offers debugging support. Once you master it, you can open a Python project from within Visual Studio Code and get end-to-end execution and debugging functionality. <p>Arranged in three parts, this guide helps Python developers become not just familiar with Visual Studio Code, but productive in its use. Part 1 gets you started with the steps for installing Visual Studio Code, installing the Python extension, and exploring the editing features of the workspace. Part 2 examines the Python extension essentials, covering editing Python code, debugging, using snippets, and testing, as well as the integration Visual Studio Code provides to external tools like Git. Part 3 takes you into real world applications, featuring integration with Jupyter Notebook, GitHub, Django, Flask, Docker, and Azure. <p><b>You’ll be ready to hit the ground running as you learn to:</b> <ul><li><b>Use all the features of the Visual Studio Code workspace</li> <li>Customize those features for your needs</li> <li>Choose the structure for your project</li> <li>Edit code in Python, including syntax coloring, IntelliSense, refactoring, and code navigation</li> <li>Perform common Git functions from within Visual Studio Code</li> <li>Debug your code using JSON</b></li></ul>
