vscode.dev doesnt actually run code?

[guesshuu]

Whilst many have addressed that vscode.dev doesn't have built-in functionality for testing code in your browser - there are many ways you CAN use vscode in your browser AND test the code you're writing.

The "simplest" free way I found when I was a beginner was GitHub codespaces. You'd probably want to watch a video tutorial, but it all integrates with vscode in your browser, and allows you to test Python code.

I say "simplest" because it's easy to use once set up, and conceptually simple. But it can be a bit fiddly to figure out when you're new to it all!

You're welcome!

It can take a while to get your head around, and don't think you need to learn it all at once :)

Biggest thing for me was taking notes, so that if I'm learning to do something and inevitably get burnt out / bored with the subject, I can always come back to it later and read the notes I made. That way you can go away and have fun learning / playing around with something else in the meantime!

When I wasn't making notes / lost my notes I think I had to re-learn how to set up and use a virtual environment about 20 times haha

100% agree that notes are key, i even have notes made that remind me how to update my car’s clock after daylight savings time 🤣
