In the previous video, we are able to download our text editor, and that is Visual Studio Code.
Let's explore more about this or some text editor, Visual Studio code or voice Code for Short is a
popular text editor among web developers.
And one important thing is that it is an open source code editor developed by Microsoft, and it provides
a wide range of features and tools to help us to write and manage our code.
And one good thing about Visual Studio Code is it IntelliSense, which is a smart code completion feature
that helps us to write code faster with fewer errors.
And again, it also has a built in debugging to that allows us to debug our code directly from the editor.
And one of the most important feature about Visual Studio code is a wide range of extensions and can
be installed to add additional functionality to our code editor.
And that is Visual Studio Code.
So let's look at how we are going to use it.
Well, over here we have this sidebar and this sidebar we have a couple of icons.
The first one is the Explorer here, and I can toggle as that.
And next step is the search icon.
And as you move on, you're going to have a bunch of files for our project.
And if we want to look for a specific file, we can use this feature to find a file or folder.
And next step going to be the source control.
And this one is what you call version control.
And as you move on, I'll be showing you how we are going to use this one also.
And this is what you call run and debug and use this one to debug our code.
And next one is the extensions.
So these extensions are being built by other community members and we can install this extension to
add more functionality to our Visual Studio code.
And over here too, we have the cog icon.
And over here we can click on Settings to customize Visual Studio code to suit our need.
And this is where we are going to write our code.
All right.
Next step is I don't like the color of my theme, and I can do that by searching for theme Inside the
Explorer.
And over here, we can search for any theme of our choice.
And the theme that I'm going to install is what you call nine.
Or I prefer to use this theme, and I'll go ahead and click on that and click on install.
As you can see that it has changed the theme of my Visual Studio code and they have different styles
and I want ninth or no italics.
Great.
And next step is we need to install some of the extensions.
But don't worry, as you move on, I'll be showing you some of the extensions that we are going to use.
For the meantime, let's move step by step in the next video.
Let's get started with the real code.
