I use Visual Studio Code for everything these days. In the past couple of months alone I have used it for HMTL, CSS, JavaScript, Java, Spring, C#, Go, Vue, Angular, and TypeScript.

A few folks were surprised when I told them that I was doing Java + Spring Boot development in VS Code so I thought I would put a video together to show it off.

In this video, I will create a new Spring Boot Project in Visual Studio Code. Then we will add a REST API controller that our front end project can talk to. Finally, we will create a simple Vue project that talks to our Spring Boot backend.

Here is the video along with the extensions you should install.

Anyone else using Visual Studio Code for Spring Development? Are you facing any issues, got any tips?
