Description

Master VS Code will help you quickly improve your software development productivity and have more fun while coding.

Sustainably improve your skillset.

Improving your VS Code code-editing skills will continue to help you throughout the years, regardless of which technologies you work with.

Fun++ Productivity++

Get up-to-speed with the most powerful features, extensions, settings, keybindings, snippets, commands, appearance & interface customizations, and advanced workflows.

Is this OK for beginners too?

Yes. Master VS Code is valuable for both beginners and experienced devs alike. You will learn all of the basics to make sure we're on the same page before we get into the juicy advanced stuff.

How long will this take me?

~3 hours. Your time as a developer is precious. I've condensed the course as much as possible --> so you can master VS Code and still have time for your side project.

Who made this?

I'm Mike Tromba - the developer behind the Theme Studio for VS Code. I've been using VS Code for years and am excited to help you master the program.

Ready to dive in?

Grab your copy of Master VS Code and we'll be gliding around the editor in no-time.

This course is really great! I learned a bunch of things I didn't know I could use on VS Code. I look forward to learning more. Thanks!

Just finished the course. I've worked with computers since the 70s and on the web since the mid-90s, and used VS Code for quite some time. From that perspective, I still found the course helpful. There were bits here and there that one doesn't discover on their own, which is why I keep checking out videos and tutorials on VS Code. Yours is the most complete from a beginner's perspective, and I'd recommend it to anyone who was just starting out with VS Code. You explain things clearly but without wasting a lot of words.

— Joel D Canfield

I have learned tons of amazing and interesting things such as (short commands, snippets, settings, extensions, and ...) I just wanted to say the "Master VS Code" is really fantastic! I wish I had this course at the same time as I started coding on Visual Studio Code." Well done! Thanks a lot.
