Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for whipping this up and sharing.

Great course. Helped to see it all in action and then go through the supporting materials alongside the course.

Thanks, glad you both liked it! I design my courses so that they complement the written tutorials, sometimes adding in extra bits of information or different examples to help clarify a concept. Video + written content go hand-in-hand :)

Would be great to get any optimizations for running python debugging as my vs code currently takes ~2-5 seconds every time i run it.. which doing so regularly is super slow !

Also how can i get other unittest modules (pytest) working as efficiently as you have unittest working ?

Thanks

Thanks so much! This was awesome, I am sure to not go back to my previously used editor!

Hi, thanx a lot for this beginners intro. I would be very happy if you extend it with “virtualenv” like environment with different pip packages per environment.

Great course! Would be nice to add a video on how to setup/config/use virtual environments with VS code

git source control is just a click away.

All Git-based source code repositories out there - Github, Gitlab, BitBucket - would work by default. If you use Mercurial, you could install thevscode-hg extension.

I thought that I could do fair in Python coding but have since found that I am a “mid-beginner.” I will be downloading VS. but I expect to come back to this course in the future.

Thanks much to Austin and Real Python.

Thanks @Austin Cepalia, last time I’m using Vim editor and bash. After start learned Vscode looks like editor IDE make things easier.

This video doesn’t appear to me to be a “beginners” video.I mistakenly thought this video was going to concentrate on how to setup the interface for a more productive use of the edit/run cycle.Material like the use of source control techniques and the debug facilities, I believe would be part of an additional video.Also, I think many tutorial authors are somewhat disingenuous when they use a particular operating environment but make the claim that it should be the same as other operating environments.

Great course. Thank you.

Much needed content to get started with VS code. thanks

I am going to try vs code now, great tutorial

Really good tutorial. Thank you. I think I will start using VS Code.

Thanks for the tutorial. Learned quite a lot and VS Code is now my editor of choice. Tried other IDEs like PyCharm but much prefer VS Code since it’s not so bloated.

I had to bail on this one. I don’t know if this is a difference between Mac and Windows, or if VS Code has changed a great deal in the last four years, or if I am doing something wrong. Whatever the problem is, much of it doesn’t work as advertised.

There is a chance this is way over my head as well.

This is 5 years old and the video could do with being updated as VS Code has a few changes.

@eyesnight00 Noted! Do you have any particular suggestions for the updates you’d like to see?

Very informative I liked the info in this video. I have applied the code snippet extension and played with it, works well. Thank you!
