Dear Microsoft, timestamps for each of the topics would be very helpful.

I like how he was obviously instructed to use Edge, but wasn't told to take his Apple Watch off before recording.

make sure you tell people to select the terminal option in the debugger window. And then select the new command prompt option. Powershell is not configured to run scripts by default. (14:25)

Just to provide some feedback.I am pretty new to programming and seeing things typed in terminals and cmd confuses me a bit.I think that most noobs are more the visual learner type where they click something and stuff happens.Once you want speed and efficiency i guess people start to use commands.So if this is for experienced folks i think this might be a good tutorial.For beginners like me, it is a bit too much black screen with white letters :).I just came from jupyter notebook searching for a new enviroment to code, many people praised vs code and i see why.But the problem is that it has a bit of an "unfriendly" vibe for me (even though i like the look of the program), like there are so many things to setup, so many things to type using cmd ect....So i am not trying to bash you guys, just providing some feedback.Keep up the work.Thank you

Great presentation of Python 3 in action inside VS Code :-) this Guy "Tyreke White" made learning about Python really interesting... so much so I decided too install python 3 inside kali linux running vs code... really want to learn more about this language... Amazing!!!

"Getting Started" should show stuff common to new users, not some very narrow project that 99% of people aren't interested in.

More of a marketing "look how great we are" than a true getting started video.

I think a less complicated example than the flask example used would have been helpful, since the point is python and not about learning flask.

Virtual environment es una caracteristica increíble, me flipa lo bien lograda que está.

[theobellash]

Best ever extensions, was already using these.

Is there any difference between python in vs code and python with visual studio community, professional or Enterprise edition

[Christobanistan]

We need an updated version of this showing how to do the virtual env stuff without resorting to the command line. Surely the tooling has caught up!

Hello, when I add a venv. and then click yes for the popup notification, the vscode does not appear in my folder vstools. How can I fix it ?

[orjihvy]

also, a more structured concise video is far more useful than something that is half extemporaneous, if I can give some feedback.

[artemburov]

Thanks for the great video! Clear and simple to start working with Python in VS Code.
