Writing my first VS Code extension

I'm (slightly) celebrating this week because I achieved something, albeit relatively small.

I published my first VS Code extension!

VS Code is becoming an increasingly popular code editor with a huge selection of extensions to customize your experience. Despite this I still found myself creating my own custom snippets for the code I wrote repeatedly.

After too long, it dawned on me that if I benefitted from these handy shortcuts then others might too.

And thus, Python Template Snippets was born.

Just search "python template snippets" in VS Code's extention tab to install, or manually download from the Github repo below.

It's only v1.0 but it's a start. Happy for feedback and issue requests.

And don't forget, if you like it, leave a star rating ⭐ 😊

Happy coding!
