As a developer myself, taking a look at this book reinforced the ideas and methods I have learned over the many years I have been working.The book starts off with an introduction to VS Code. If you haven't had a hands-on experience with the platform then this is a great place to start. Pact offers samples that you are able to use and play around with. This is a great way to experience coding hands-on. This makes it a great book to start off with and can be great for anyone.It has been really useful to understand the backend works of the platform and also understanding how we can make multi-platform apps with VS Code. The book gives a high-level idea of building these kinds of applications and the reader is guided with the best way to develop many complex apps.This is a great book for beginners and advanced developers to refresh the ideas for building multiple types of applications using VS Code.It is a great resource and has helped me so much when I couldn't find an answer to something online right away, and knowing that this book is with me all the time, I knew exactly what I needed to know to develop a service with .NET and get the environment started.I recommend this book to people who want to get started right away but don't know where to begin. This is a great way to get your hands-on experience while also learning the mechanics of what goes on in a full-fledged application.

I was looking for a such a book to understand Visual Studio Code.The Multi-cursor editing amongst other basic editing tools is a great help especially when having to select multiple occurrences of the same text and edit at the same time. The instructions are fully detailed with plenty of screenshots to help drive the points across. The shortcuts shown in the book are great to navigate Visual Studio Code and provide great time savers. The code snippets are also very helpful at limiting the amount of time taken to write the code. The themes and extensions are great I especially liked the way the author teaches you how to create a new extensions.json file with your recommended extensions. Learning how to install extensions from the CLI is of course very valuable information. I am already a certified Azure Administrator however still not being able to land a job in that field. Section 2 was a great refresher course in Azure and have a better understanding of Azure Devops and Angular frameworks now. Debugging practices and examples are on point. I was unable to completely grasp the concept of using containers however now I understand and know how Docker and Kubernetes work. I greatly applaud the author of this book and have faith that with the knowledge attained by reading and following the examples on Developing Multiplatform Apps with Visual Studio Code, that I am now ready to pass any future job interviews and have faith that I will be be able to attain a job as a Cloud Administrator.

This book is good if you code in multiple languages and want to become familiar with visual studio code and it's offerings!I have enjoyed reading all the chapters! My favorite is where the author deep dives into how to debug code like node.js with vscode!Also it has a chapter around how to build your own visualstudio extensions that is useful!
