Integrated Development Environment

In short an IDE is a software that enables you to:

• Edit source code.
• Highlight the syntax of the language you are using.
• Navigate the files in your project easily.
• Execute, build and debug your code.
• Many many more things like : viewing the CVS, autocomplete, code snippets, integrated terminals etc...

Let's see how to set up the most popular IDE which also happens to be my favourite (it is popular for a reason) : VSCode. First install it from the official website.

Feel free to read the walkthroughs provided within the software or watch tutorials before going on to the next page.

I recommend installing the following VSCode extension pack I brought together for you to make your experience more seamless and enjoyable! 🙆‍♀️
