Code Editing. Redefined

About Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is a powerful and versatile code editor that has been designed to redefine the way developers work. It is a free, open-source tool that runs on multiple platforms, including Linux, macOS, and Windows, making it accessible to developers across the globe. The primary focus of Visual Studio Code is to provide an optimized environment for building and debugging modern web and cloud applications. It goes beyond basic syntax highlighting and autocomplete, offering advanced features like IntelliSense. IntelliSense provides smart code completions based on variable types, function definitions, and imported modules, helping developers write code more efficiently and with fewer errors. One of the key problems that Visual Studio Code solves is the frustration of traditional print statement debugging. With its built-in debugging capabilities, developers can now launch or attach to their running applications and debug with breakpoints, call stacks, and an interactive console, streamlining the debugging process and saving valuable time. Additionally, Visual Studio Code integrates seamlessly with Git and other source control management (SCM) providers, making it easier than ever to review diffs, stage files, and commit changes directly from the editor. This integration helps developers maintain a smooth workflow and stay on top of their codebase. Visual Studio Code is designed for a wide range of developers, from those working on web applications to those building cloud-based solutions. Its extensibility and customization options allow users to tailor the tool to their specific needs, whether that's adding support for new programming languages, installing specialized debuggers, or connecting to additional services. Overall, Visual Studio Code is a powerful and versatile code editor that aims to redefine the development experience, providing developers with a streamlined and efficient tool to build and debug their projects with confidence and ease.

• IntelliSense

  Go beyond syntax highlighting and autocomplete with IntelliSense, which provides smart completions based on variable types, function definitions, and imported modules.

• Debugging

  Debug code right from the editor. Launch or attach to your running apps and debug with break points, call stacks, and an interactive console.

• Built-in Git

  Working with Git and other SCM providers has never been easier. Review diffs, stage files, and make commits right from the editor. Push and pull from any hosted SCM service.

• Extensions

  Want even more features? Install extensions to add new languages, themes, debuggers, and to connect to additional services. Extensions run in separate processes, ensuring they won't slow down your editor.

• Deploy with confidence and ease

  With Microsoft Azure you can deploy and host your React, Angular, Vue, Node, Python (and more!) sites, store and query relational and document based data, and scale with serverless computing, all with ease, all from within VS Code.
