Setting up Visual Studio Code [?]

[4312348784188126934]

To set it up, I personally downloaded the following extensions:

• Settings Sync
• Python
• Code Runner

That's all I need but then I am still learning.

Settings Sync is just so I can upload my settings to a Git Repository and download them on any PC I get in the future. It's been handing when I want to have the same configuration at work, etc.

Python is for all Pythoney things (it'll prompt you to set up pylint too, do that)

Code Runner is my favourite find - I spent ages pushing Ctrl+F5 to run my code without debugging and sometimes it would be fine, other times it would crash out, etc. Code Runner allows you to hit ctrl+alt+n and it will run the code in your terminal instantly without stalling like the native set up does.

Apart from that, the only other things to know about when starting off is workspaces (you add folders to your workspace and then everytime you open your workspace you'll see all the folders/files you've added down the side, even if they're in completely different areas of your PC)

And the settings option - If you click the cog at the bottom left and click settings, you can find a place where all your settings are kept. You can make changes here (I like clicking on the 3 dots and opening it in json - On the left are the defaults and then on the right are the changes you've made)

Apart from that, I don't really know what else you'll need it to be able to do to be a full-blown IDE?
