Become a Docker Power User With Microsoft Visual Studio Code

--
In this session, we will unlock the full potential of using Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) and Docker Desktop to turn you into a Docker Power User. When we expand and utilize the VS Code Docker plugin, we can take our projects and Docker skills to the next level. In addition to using VS Code, we streamline our Docker Desktop development workflow with less context switching and built-in shortcuts. You will learn how to bootstrap new projects, quickly write Dockerfiles utilizing templates, build, run, and interact with containers all from VS Code.

Wow... Didn't know this much was possible from within VS Code... Great explanation... I'll need some reading up on the context part to access remote docker host...

Thank you for posting such a great session!

I'm an old (old, old) Emacs user who is now trying out VS Code because of this presentation. I'm not ready to give up Emacs just yet, but I've seen too many changes over the decades to stick with an inferior technology simply out of sentiment. Toolset becomes mindset, often in ways we don't even notice, so pick your tools carefully.

Great session! I was not aware of the automatic creation of dockerfile part. Btw minor "typo" there : the dockerfile created automatically uses debian buster, not alpine.

Thank you for this video..

I just want to ask if I need to install Docker-desktop before downloading the VScode extention?
I mean is it enough to only downloadthe extention without installing the desktop versio?

In 15:30 you said alpine when it read slim-buster, does slim-buster somehow imply alpine?

[rosslopez]

Did you not cover how to actually connect VS Code to another docker instance on a remote machine?

[edddw]

Great video, but I would also like to see how to connect to a running docker and debug python code in that running docker remotely.

16:34 Small error: a `.dockerignore` file does not change what is sent to Git. Use a `.gitignore` file if you want to exclude files from a commit.

thanks for context, but it would be more productive if coding video tutorials only show the codes not the narrator
