Un muy buen curso para iniciarse en el uso más avanzado de VS Code, introduce bien los temas generales y da un paseo más profundo en los aspectos específicos de la mayoría de los lenguajes de programación actuales en los que las características de VS Code sobresale. Muy buen sonido, muy buena edición de imagen incluyendo el uso adecuado del zoom in & out. Para aquellos que solo desarrollamos en uno o dos lenguajes, el paseo por la configuración y uso en los otros puede ser tedioso... pero necesario. Curso muy recomendable!

Not clear where I am supposed to use/download test examples in VS Code. Are these provided as part of the lecture?

The instructor has both a deep knowledge of the tool and a good sense of the rhythm needed to help the learning process.

For someone new to VSC, it's a lot of information coming at me pretty quickly in the presentation. Seems like it would be beneficial to have hands on exercises to do throughout to reinforce what is being taught.

I kind of would've liked to have more information about how to create custom launch files to debug for example. But overall, its was a good course.

My review may be biased as I've used VS code for a few years. I was hoping to learn some things that I didn't already know but most of it was simple review. This course would be good for someone who is switching from another IDE and has no prior knowledge of VS code.

It's tough, but it's SO great. In September 2022, many things have changed, screenshots and menus are not any more accurate, but it doesn't prevent you to successfully achieve the result. I discovered many many things. I should have invested the time to attend this course earlier. It will definitely increase dramatically my success in using Visual Studio Code.

Excellent course for initial introduction. Too few details on anything except web development, especially on C/C++ development. But this could have related with general tool orientation. Excellent presentation and narrating.

I am a Database (PLSQL) Developer and was expecting a section on the same which is missing. Nevertheless, the instructor has covered a wide variety of topics. the course structure and the delivery is very good

This course was clear, concise, and relevant. It helped me quickly get up to speed on how to use VSCode without any prior knowledge and be productive on Day 1. Worth every penny. Highly recommend if VSCode is new to you.

Totally worth time and money.Excellent course for Students, The transcript should be more precise as there is lot of mistake in captions file and transcript file .

This is great, at the beginning of the course it's a lot about how to use VSCode and then the course changes style to explain how to use VSCode with different languages, extensions and servers. This is really awesome. I am sure I will return to this course a lot of times and just watch the parts about different languages, like Python. In the whole, the course gives you a lot to start with and it will serve you a lot in the future when you change work language. I am sure I will have use for this course for several years to come, since I will come back to watch some specific chapters every now and then. This is not really a course you can binge-watch because it covers a lot of topics and you need time to test and learn. So be prepared for a week of VsCode and a lot of new knowledge.

Wonderful course! Goes way beyond a listing of features. Really does a complete explanation of how to use VS CODE in a wide variety of settings.

I still need to explore the course a bit more, but I enrolled because I've been using VSCode for a while now but I still don't know how to use it with it's full potential for Web Development. I am very excited to see what kind of things I learn when exploring this course!
