August 16, 2022 by Matt Bierner, @MattBierner

Markdown support was the first feature I took ownership of when I joined Visual Studio Code back in 2016. Wow, has it really been six years? It was a great match though. I've worked with Markdown long enough that I often find myself hopefully typing backticks and asterisks into Twitter, Outlook, and just about every textbox my cursor lands in. It's been incredibly rewarding to grow VS Code's built-

The VS Code Server

July 7, 2022 by Brigit Murtaugh, @BrigitMurtaugh

A remote present and future

In 2019, we released the "Remote Development" extensions, which let you use VS Code locally to develop applications "remotely" on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), in Docker containers, and on remote physical or virtual machines you manage over SSH. In 2020, we took another step forward with remote development with GitHub Codespaces, which let you use VS Code locally or in a

TL;DR

Using Containers to move from local to Remote Development

April 4, 2022 by Olivia Guzzardo, @OliviaGuzzardo

One of my favorite things that industry professionals like to ask aspiring developers is, "How many lines of code does the average developer write per day?" Most guess in the hundreds or thousands – they're always shocked to hear that the actual average figure lies in the tens.

Then what are developers doing with the rest of their time? Sure, there's time spent on important tasks like code design and searching "How to center a

March 8, 2022 by Burke Holland, @burkeholland

Writing a great tutorial isn't easy. I should know - I've written a lot of them, and not every one was a smashing success.

As it turns out making a great tutorial isn't about what you write, it's about whether developers can be successful without having to read every word. In this article, we'll look how development containers can reduce the errors a user might encounter, and how the Laravel
