I am an occasional developer and decided to write my website from scratch last year. Aside from learning Jekyll, SCSS, Git, and GitHub, I also learned a lot about how to use Visual Studio Code.

The work I do using VSC is just the tip of the iceberg, but it was fun. That is why I decided to create a regular series on how to use VSC on my YouTube channel.

However, before I start releasing regular videos, I wanted to reach out to the community here to review it first and provide feedback.

That is why I am creating this DEV-only post, asking anyone that has a chance to watch this 11m 35s video that walks a person through the VSC user interface.

• Is it informative?
• Is it too long? Not long enough? Just right?
• Is this a series that would interest you?
• How is the audio and video quality?
• Is there any feedback you want to provide?
