Microsoft Visual Studio Code

I use Visual Studio Code (VSCode) for nearly all of my programming activities. Combined with GitHub, it is a great cross-platform environment for planning, writing, documenting, and publishing my code.

This wiki is primarily for my own reference – to remember how I've set things up, which plug-ins I use and where I get them, and just general knowledge to keep track of.
