Ready, Get Set, Code!
Being a developer requires you to learn how to code. But before we begin, I want you to do one thing, first right click on your browser then click the View Page Source option. What you just got saw was the web page’s code view, those are the codes or language that makes your computer on how to make a web page content. Most of the programs or software has, it is a high-level code that’s closer to human language.
There’s software that we can write a code called Visual Studio Code or VS Code. Visual Studio Code is a source code editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, Linux and macOS. It also supports a lot of programming languages such as Java Script, Java, PHP, CSS, C++, C#, Python and also Swift. Visual Studio code also include IntelliSense, it is a code editing features including: code completion, parameter info, quick info and member lists.
VS Code IntelliSense is provided for Java Script, Type script, JSON, HTML, CSS, Less and Sass. IntelliSense guess what the developers want to type in order to complete a line of code. Using this tool may reduce typographical errors and syntax errors, as a developer it is very helpful in making code writing more efficient and allow us to track what track what are the errors in order to reduce errors and improve accuracy.
Debugging is a core feature of Visual Studio Code it’s a great support for debugging which you can Set regular and conditional breakpoints, Inspect your program’s state and variables and Multi target debugging. VS Code’s built in debugger helps to accelerate your edit, compile and debug loop. It also has debugging support for the Node.js runtime and can debug Java Script, Type Script and any other language that gets compiled to Java Script. It also has an extension to enable additional languages, themes, debuggers, commands, and more.
Visual Studio Code has integrated source control it includes Git with a Git source control manager (SCM) extension. You can also create and checkout branches directly within VS code using commands in the Command Palette it lets you quickly create a new branch make sure that your repository is connected to some remote and that you’re checked out branch has an upstream link to a branch in that remote, so that you can use actions to pull, push and synch that branch. You can also view the difference between two files, Stage and clean changes, Publish to a remote branch, Push commits and also Undo a commit.

Programming languages
Most of the programming languages require more time to study and it always has an update.
