Learn Visual Studio Code in 7min (Official Beginner Tutorial)

Microsoft directed me to this video – We'd appreciate Windows.

Also, the console doesn't function as demonstrated – more configuration is required. FAIL – VS Code must have changed? Is this video obsolete?

Unfortunately, his sample does not work at all for me. Debugging does not work.

While I love the idea of this video, my screens did not look like your by default. I did have the explorer and activity and status bar as described, but by default, I did not have the panel with Ouput, Debug Problems and Terminal. When I hit F5 on the jsSample.js file, it did not run in the debug console as expected, instead it comes up with a Welcome tabbed window with Get Started with VS Code. So either this video needs some updating to a current version or the presenter has extensions installed that are not present in a new installation.

for some reason when i press f5 nothing happens- i was given a selection of different things to run it thru and i selected the first option and now whenever i press f5 it just starts up VS in another window. like i have my workstation open and then another instance of VS starts up. nothing shows up under output/debug console

Which extensions should I install to run my js code?
I did exactly as shown In video but it ain't running!!

I can't debug it

it doesnt run the code when i press f5. It asks for a debugger, node, somthing i dont understand how you just skip this.

I was wondering what is this theme starting with "nig…"

2:20 you lost me, when I type the parenthesis doesnt automatically copy itself to the next line, it doesnt automatically add quotation marks it doesnt auto complete and it doesnt detetect as javascript infact it calls it Coffeescript. So 2:20 was at all it took for you to just assume the user is having the same experience as you, which is false. This isnt really a tutorial I'd recommend anyone follow, because you don't explain what your doing, but rather just an example of how the program works.

When he starts writing in intellisense i didn't get that on my program

There was no visual studio code example. There was python, Java, and HTML. Who are you fucking with?

Thank you!! Incredibly helpful and, as others have said, I was overwhelmed by VS, too, and my tutors never explained it, just expected me to work with it. So this helps a ton!

Quick question. How many beginners can code in Java and python without vscode?

basicly VS Code is very simple to use but you got to have someone explain it to you like he did, amazing tuts !

Can someone please help me, I try and create a new java file but when I create it and begin writing my code it does not give me a "run" option under my class name or the little run triangle in the top right. Some of my files let me run them and some do not. Please help!

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Not a word too many, not a second wasted.

uhhhh ill rather use notepad++
