Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Visual Studio Code has been really helpful to me, allowing me to utilize my time more effectively and accomplish the task, more thanks to its simple interfaces and strong integrations.
I use this tool for analyzing the code and fixing the bug, more useful when it comes to resolve the compiler errors before going for the build.
Highlights syntax errors while coding, which pretty much saves the time for compiling the code again and again.

Pros

Great UI
Extension feasibility
Error findings

Cons

Consumes more battery power
Sometimes it hangs

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Visual Code is well suited for developing the code with error free and with proper indentation.
We can easily analyse the code.
Helps to connect with version control tool.
With the help of extensions we can easily find the difference between the commits and analyze our changes for any bug fix or some analysis.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Visual Studio Code for coding and testing purposes. Mainly our IT department is using the software because it is built for developers. It is easy to use, supports multiple languages at the same time so you do not need to switch the apps for development and testing purposes. It has built in terminal which is one of the most useful feature.

Pros

Multiple Coding Languages Support
Easy to use
Built-in Git Support
Multiple Projects at same time

Cons

No support for Database
Development for Mac/iOS is not supported

Likelihood to Recommend

It is useful in almost all the scenarios, it has supports [for] multiple languages so you don't need to switch the IDE every time while coding. There are so many extensions which makes coding easy and seamless like Beautifier of code etc. It is very light-weight so starts very easily and runs on any config devices.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Microsoft Visual Studio Code is used across the whole organization. I know many people in both Information Technologies and Research & Development departments that use Microsoft Visual Studio Code. It is used to develop embedded software for electronic cards, .NET programs that are used by other business units, background services, and Python scripts that help to automate some tasks in the mainframe. Therefore it is used primarily in C/C++, C#, and Python. I used it with C (embedded software programming) and Python(for Advanced Analytics and Machine Learning.)

Pros

Provides good UI/UX
Runs fast thanks to its efficiency/small size

Cons

Interface for plotting graphs (Matplotlib, Seaborn) can be improved.
Installation of compilers can be made easier for the user.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Visual Studio Code is well suited if you're a full-stack developer/or someone who uses several programming languages and libraries in the same platform/computer since it supports them all together. I used it with C, C++, and Python so far, and I know it supports even more. It is especially cool how little space it takes compared to other platforms, which make it run fast, too. Installation of the fundamental pack is relatively easy, also but of course, it requires specialization and knowledge to maintain more and more packages and features. So Microsoft Visual Studio Code can be seen as a tremendous fundamental package that wraps up the essentials, which enables it to be small and fast yet supports more if you want more.

Beautiful Code with Helpful (Intelligent) Suggestions

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Microsoft Visual Studio Code helps me write python in a clear and organized fashion. The python package helps color code and indent as needed. It has made learning python easier and I would recommend it to anyone! It's been my favorite way to code so far above JupyterLab and online based systems.

Pros

I love the color coding and automatic error checking.
Can run multiple terminals within.
Python library is easy to install and very helpful.

Cons

It would be nice to create folders within Microsoft Visual Studio Code instead of creating them on your computer first.
Would be nice to use sticky keys so you can save CLs and your program name instead of typing it each time.
It auto saves some things I never intended to save like random code thoughts which is kind of annoying.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Visual Studio Code is well suited for anywhere and especially if you don't have internet. I wish it had a mobile version as well so I could use that when I don't have my computer up.

The Simplicity and Price of Visual Studio Code Make it the Preferred Web App Building Tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Microsoft Visual Studio Code is being used in our organization by the IT Department, of which I am a member. I use VS Code to build web-based applications to satisfy the needs and requirements of our internal operations. These web-based apps fill a specific need in our organization that off-the-shelf software does not address. Thus, VS Code gives us a way to better utilize our IT infrastructure through building custom solutions to solve particular business challenges.

Pros

It is a lightweight code editor.
It makes it easy to build and test APIs and web apps locally.
It is free, which means I can also develop apps on my own time and on my personal equipment in the same environment that I use for work.

Cons

It does not deploy to IIS.
It does not handle apps that require Windows authentication.
It cannot be used for remote debugging.

Likelihood to Recommend

I use VS Code specifically to develop internal web-based applications using an ASP .NET API back-end written in C# and an Angular front-end. It is very easy for me to use VS Code to spin up both the API and the front-end locally for development and testing. However, in order to conduct End-User Testing, I have to switch to the full-fledged Visual Studio to deploy my applications to IIS.

Visual Studio Code for Speed and ROI

Rating: 10 out of 10

March 26, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Microsoft Visual Studio Code is currently in use by a number of cross-platform developers. We traditionally use Microsoft Visual Studio Code on Mac or other non-Microsoft development projects. We utilize this tool a lot for front end development. This Tool allows us to quickly and easily collaborate across a wide section of cross-platform developers.

Pros

Ease of startup and use.
Only need the packages you are working on and do not need to install a number of useless items.
Very lightweight and fast to use due to its modular setup.

Cons

Installing packages is sometimes a bit convoluted.
Keeping other developers in sync with the 3rd party tools.
Git integration is lacking.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Visual Studio Code is perfect for shops that do not want to spend a lot of time and money setting up a development environment. On the other hand, the adage of you get what you pay for is true. There are more manual steps that need to be taken for full use in a development environment.

Visual Studio Code - An ultimate solution as an IDE

January 18, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our organization we use Visual Studio Code everyday. I can work on multiple files by splitting the editor in two tabs as opposed to having different windows open and it is very useful. There are many plugins and extensions available in this IDE. I use it to develop small and large projects. Specially when working with React project. Its free and easy to understand.

Pros

Helps in writing code efficiently
Great for HTML editing
Easy to write and Debug JAVA scripts

Cons

Live server plugin sometimes hangs.
Ubuntu support is not very good. It doesn't work properly.
It is mainly used for back-end development. It should also support front-end technologies.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are working on Node.js, this is a must-have tool. Any HTML editing can be done with this tool.
