BASE Topic: To Be Determined by Stan Reichardt

MAIN Topic: Visual Studio Code -Installing, Configuring, & Using
by Scottt Granneman
In just seven quick years, Visual Studio Code is now used by a majority of developers. In this talk by Scott Granneman, you’ll learn the ins & outs of VS Code, including installation, configuration, and usage. We’ll delve into the user interface, key features (like the amazing IntelliSense and built-in Emmet), useful extensions & themes, and tips & tricks. Even if you already use VS Code, you’ll still learn a lot; if you’ve never used VS Code, learning about it will blow your mind!
In Wikipedia:
Visual Studio Code is a distant derivative of Visual Studio, but there are major differences. Visual Studio Code as a lightweight and cross-platform alternative to their Visual Studio IDE (Integrated Development Environments). MS released it in 2016.
VS Code, is a src-code editor made by MS with the Electron Framework, for MS-Windows, Linux and macOS.[10] Features include support for debugging, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, code refactoring, and embedded Git.

The Saint Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG) is an IRS 501c(6) designated not-for-profit professional association dedicated to education and communication among computer users.
SLUUG is your forum for exchanging information about OPEN standards, OPEN systems, OPEN source, products, services and architectures.

We usually start the general meeting with our BASE introductory level session (often focused on personal computing), which may include either simple tutorials, displays of newly discovered web sites, command line wonders, demonstrations of useful applications, amazing graphical packages, major resolution of long standing anomalies, blinking lights, or quantum shifts in both time and space. Then we will have our usually quick welcome, introduction, administrative announcements, and a Call For Help - Questions and Answers Period. After all that, we take a break before our MAIN event.
