Get Productive with Python in Visual Studio Code



Learn how to use the cross-platform, free, and open source Visual Studio Code for all your Python development needs. From editing, to linting, to debugging and more, you will learn how to get started, as well as tips and tricks to save you time in your everyday development lifecycle.

If you’re an experienced Python developer, you will learn how to take advantage of all of Visual Studio Code’s capabilities to maximize your productivity. If you’re a new Python developer, you will learn more about Python and how to use Visual Studio Code to get up and running quickly.

We will start by showing how to create a new application, configure linting, manage virtual environments, and run code. Then we’ll show how to use more powerful features like debugging, unit testing and Visual Studio Live Share for collaborative editing and debugging with your co-workers. Finally, we’ll show how you can install additional extensions to set up your keyboard bindings, manage docker containers, deploy to the cloud, and more!

    It stops working every now and then in Lubuntu 18.04 that's why I went back to Pycharm

    Darn! I hate these YouTubers who go from the fairly simple, to the insanely complex, and give little or no explanation of the new concepts. I have no idea what the "stackoverflow" item is he is referring to, or why you have to run it in a virtual environment. Can't any of these programming tutorials just Keep it Simple?!?!?!!?

    Proof that Microsoft is going to switch to MacOS

    good video for all type of audience! 1 advice: just don't enable Microsoft Language SERVER.

    I was in a dilemma and couldn't decide on a code editor…OMG I could have saved so much of my time if I had switched to VS Code earlier

    What puts people off coding is copying line for line and it still fails, without typos… not accessible.
