Knowledge, Learning, Community

Visual Studio Code is my new favourite text editor, and has been responsible for a bit increase in my learning curve over the last month. It combines three core functions - file management (including version management with GitHub), text editing (with formatting that supports everything, even Perl), and command line terminals (so I can usefully write and test scripts in the same environment, and then publish in Docker or whatever). And as this article shows, there's a whole lot more for power users. Including (just announced this week) something called Live Share, which will allow multiple developers to work on the same project at the same time. It's all open source, written in Node, and compiled for the desktop using Electron. And made by Microsoft.
