Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code just updated ....

I decided it is time to open a topic for this package, because it is free to all and runs on most systems.

If any of our members are working with this software, I'd be interested in your experiences.

There is too much there for anyone of us to know it all, so individual reports are likely to be helpful

Re: Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is the tool in use for moving FluxBB 1.5.11 from 2012 to 2024 as FluxBB 1.5.12.

When I logged in just now, to begin working on the next PHP file, in a long list of them to be processed, the announcment of an update appeared.
