Dr. Fraser. Thank you for what you are doing. I am 81 years old. I have, for many years, wanted to learn some basics about programming. I shall be following your site.

I can't thank you enough for this. I've spent about 20 hours trying to get c++ to compile and run on vscode linux. Now it finally works. Thank you sooo much for this

Thank you very much! Following these instructions, I could easily get the C++ compiler (g++) running in my existing VS Code that I had installed a few weeks ago to use PlatformIO. 🙂
As I am new to VS Code and therefore not familiar yet with how the use the different extensions, I appreciate especially the valuable information you provided regarding starting the IDE from the command line! This allows me to simply start the software from either a folder containing PlatformIO projects or a folder that I am using for the C++ stuff.🙂

Another person thanking you here. I have been away a couple years from trying to get back into coding. This saved me a lot of time to get started with VS Code in Linux.
