Visual Studio Code Ultimate Starter Guide

During Build, Microsoft released a brand new code editor called "Visual Studio Code"!

In this post I will go over what it is, what it isn't, and how you can use it with your Unity and/or Corona projects.

What is Visual Studio Code?

Visual Studio Code (or "VSCode") is a new, cross platform lightweight coding editor.

It is not a stripped down version of Visual Studio, nor is it comparable to "Visual Studio Express". This is a wholly new editor designed from the ground up to give a focused streamlined experience.

Sometimes, you don't need a full featured IDE. A lot of the time all you need is something to edit files with IntelliSense/Syntax highlighting and maybe some debugging.

I would often use Sublime side by side with Visual Studio. Sublime is a great solution, but Visual Studio Code is a new competitor on the block. It have many of the features and characteristics I like most from Sublime (plus a couple more), and it's $70 cheaper (a.k.a. FREE!)
