A Programming Journey (VSCODE)

I've always been amazed by the always known (.NET IDE) that had been built by the well-known tech giant 'Microsoft' even tough I consider myself a GNU/Linux denfedor and Open Source advocate and contributor which I believe is the real truth of Computing and Computation. I can properly say that:

When it was originally Microsoft Visual Studio Code '20xx' it brings a lot of good stuff for you to customize the Development Environment and the helpfulness in which this Software was designed.

VSCODE and the Magic

Further than that. I am pretty much in love with how much with can do with VSCODE and the operatibility this software has transported thru the years.

Another Twist from Microsoft

In my opinion. This new VSCODE is a lot different that it was old 'Microsoft Builds' It can magically powerful your productivity and plus it is FAST!

I am just AMAZING by the twist this Software just did. It went from just trying to compile a long-line text of codes and crash in the process to a fast saving easy just like a simple notepad. It blowed my mind how FAST the software became. Faster than the Roadrunner so yeah.

You can just go ahead and test a Visual Studio old version and try out this new VSCODE you will notice the different

Code Productivity

When it comes to begin code most beginners fall in the tentation to do it all by Scratch. This is OK as long as it will teach you how the different components works in many different languages. However. When you realize doing all and ALWAYS by scratch it's not productivity and it won't help you in the long-run that's when you start to fall in love with the what I call 'Pre-Formatted Document' options that this VSCODE has It's just powerful.

Emmet Abbreviation (Formerly Zen Coding)

If you have a HTML5 document saved and opened on the VSCODE you just type 'h' and it will popup to show up in emmet abbreviation some options to choose

Alt Text

Structure Selection

This awesome feature it's saving you a lot of time a headaches along the way while your coding. It is easy powerful and tasty to use

Alt Text

There is a lot more features that are available such as Word replacing if you have mystypo or incorrect syntax with a matter of a blink eye, you can turn out this in the correct word

Hope you have enjoy the post. I will be looking to add updates a long the way
