Working with Visual Studio Code

“

- [Instructor] While this course starts in CodePen, we will be moving into Visual Studio Code, also called VS Code. This is one of approximately one bajillion different editors that are out there and available for editing HTML and CSS. CodePen is a really great product, but unfortunately, it doesn't allow us to see into the head of our document and we are going to need to take a look at the head of our document in order to completely understand all of the ramifications of semantics that we'll be looking at in this course. So once we work through some examples with CodePen, we're going to move that code here over to Visual Studio Code. If you want to use a different editor it's totally fine with me, whatever you're comfortable with is fine, but if you like to follow along with exactly what I use, this is the product that I'm using. So this is at code.visualstudio.com, this is a Microsoft product, it's something of an industry standard, and we're going to start right here on the home page, there's a big button. I am using a Mac and so this says download for Mac, if you are using a PC, it's going to say download for Windows. So I'm going to go ahead and click the download button, it's going to go ahead and download this program for me and then I'm going to go ahead and install it on my computer and you should go ahead and do the same thing. Once you've gone ahead and installed Visual Studio Code, VS Code as it's also called, just go on ahead and open it up, you should see a screen that's very similar to this one, and if you've got that then you're totally in the right place. When we start using VS Code, I will walk you through everything you'll need to do at that point in time, but for now, if you download VS Code, get it installed, and see this screen, you're in great shape and you're ready to start the rest of the course.
