This up-to-date guide covers all of the essential components of Visual Studio Code, including the editing features of the workspace, advanced functionality such as code refactoring and key binding, and integration with Grunt, Gulp, NPM, and other external tools.
Visual Studio Code, a free, open source, cross-compatible source code editor, is one of the most popular choices for web developers. It is fast, lightweight, customizable, and contains built-in support for JavaScript, Typescript, and Node.js extensions for other languages, including C++, Python, and PHP. Features such as debugging capability, embedded Git control, syntax highlighting, code snippets, and IntelliSense intelligent code completion support—several of which set it apart from the competition—help make Visual Studio Code an impressive, out-of-the-box solution.

This up-to-date guide covers all of the essential components of the software, including the editing features of the workspace, advanced functionality such as code refactoring and key binding, and integration with Grunt, Gulp, NPM, and other external tools. New users, experienced developers, and those considering moving from another developer tool will benefit from this book’s detailed, yet easy-to-follow information on Visual Studio Code. This book:
Well written, informative, and easy to understand. It made me want to switch to Visual Studio Code from Sublime. I felt that the first half was better than the second, because the second tended to have general theories and only a few practical examples, on account of the length restrictions for each chapter, compared to a more detailed book; but that's to be expected. Other books can be read on each particular subject. Overall, the whole book was worth reading.
Wonderful resource -- as a newb dev, I began studying this as soon as I installed VS Code, working through as much of it at a time as I took on new learnings with code. Thank You for authoring this!
It is a great book to improve the work with visual studio code.
Well presented, interesting to read, learnt some things about VS Code that I am using already :)
Good book, easy to read and for me it's been very useful to learn to use this code editor in a better way.
Though I have read only as far as the second chapter, I find the coverage both comprehensive and easy to grasp. As an intermediate user of Visual Studio Code, of particular interest to me is the information provided on features I had not yet encountered. I look forward to reading through the rest of the book, and view it, overall, as an excellent resource in helping to get the most out of VSC.
