VSCode Extensions

VSCode is a complicated beast. It's easy to get lost in the themes and extensions.

 ⚠ Installing too many extensions will slow down VSCode and your system.

 There are many "AI" extensions that either write code for you or help you write code. Let's keep our work honest and avoid those extensions!

🐿  Mr. Squirrel's Recommended VSCode Extensions:

• Code Runner  (this one is almost a necessity - we'll go over the options in class)

• Live Preview  (opens your HTML page in a live web-browser preview)

• Prettier  (Helps with formatting code nicely - learn the keyboard shortcut for VSCode formatting)

• Live Share  (this one allows you to share your code instance with a partner or crowd)

• Python  (only if you plan to code in Python)

  • You should also install this from the terminal on ChromeOS:  sudo apt -y install python-is-python3
