Visual Studio (VS) Code is a lightweight code editor. It combines the simplicity of a source code editor with powerful developer tooling.

VS Code supports macOS, Linux, and Windows, so you can install and use it wherever you want.

On VS Code, you can customize every feature to your liking and install any number of third-party extensions. While most scenarios work “out of the box” with no configuration, VS Code grows with you, and we encourage you to optimize your experience to suit your unique needs.

VS Code is very popular among developers, released just yeas ago, it becomes one of the most popular editors on the market, especially for young developers. Some old-school editors like Vim are hard to getting start for beginner, you are welcome to try them with more programming experience.

We hope the VS Code that introduced in CSC 111, helps you more than just in class.
