00:00:05,330 --> 00:00:07,760
Welcome to this bonus section for the course.

2
00:00:08,330 --> 00:00:13,910
In this section of the course, I'll go through the steps needed to use Microsoft Visual Studio code

3
00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:19,250
or VS Code for short with C++ and with the projects used in this course.

4
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,490
Vsco has become a very popular ID over the past few years.

5
00:00:24,940 --> 00:00:28,740
It's a microsoft product that's free, built on open source.

6
00:00:28,750 --> 00:00:35,410
It's cross-platform and supports Windows Mac OS ten and Linux, and it's also cross language.

7
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:41,230
It supports C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, and many, many other programming languages.

8
00:00:41,620 --> 00:00:44,380
It's fast, it's small, and it's very powerful.

9
00:00:44,770 --> 00:00:49,450
It's also very extensible via extensions that we can install and customize.

10
00:00:50,220 --> 00:00:51,660
So is it easy to use?

11
00:00:51,690 --> 00:00:52,690
Yes and no.

12
00:00:52,710 --> 00:00:54,510
It's easy to use once you set it up.

13
00:00:54,870 --> 00:00:59,430
And that's the purpose of this section, to walk you through the setup for C plus.

14
00:00:59,430 --> 00:01:04,470
Plus, you'll see a lot of different ways to set up Visual Studio code out on the Internet.

15
00:01:04,890 --> 00:01:07,080
Some of them are okay, some of them are not okay.

16
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,260
Some of them use a lot of extensions unnecessarily.

17
00:01:10,260 --> 00:01:16,770
I'm going to keep it as barebones as I can so that we can we can get up and running with C++ and VS

18
00:01:16,770 --> 00:01:17,880
code pretty quickly.

19
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:23,590
So what we'll do in this section is we'll go through the procedure needed to install and configure VTS

20
00:01:23,610 --> 00:01:25,530
code so that it works with plus.

21
00:01:26,790 --> 00:01:32,610
Well then set up a folder structure so that we can organize our projects and let us easily work with

22
00:01:32,610 --> 00:01:33,990
multiple projects.

23
00:01:34,530 --> 00:01:41,460
Then I'll show you how to build, run and debug your own C++ programs as well as the projects provided

24
00:01:41,460 --> 00:01:43,290
with the source code for this course.

25
00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:45,060
All in Visual Studio code.

26
00:01:45,570 --> 00:01:50,090
Now this section contains videos for Windows Mac OS ten and Linux.

27
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:55,800
You'll most likely just watch the videos that pertain to your specific operating system, but feel free

28
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,090
to watch them all if you like.

29
00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:59,160
So let's get started.

30
00:01:59,190 --> 00:02:02,340
First up, let's get started with Microsoft Windows.
