(uplifting music)

2
00:00:05,370 --> 00:00:08,400
Instructor: Welcome to this bonus section for the course.

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:09,990
In this section of the course, I'll go through

4
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:13,700
the steps needed to use Microsoft Visual Studio Code,

5
00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:16,079
or VS Code for short,

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,755
with C++ and with the projects used in this course.

7
00:00:19,755 --> 00:00:23,010
VS Code has become a very popular IDE

8
00:00:23,010 --> 00:00:24,960
over the past few years.

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,830
It's a Microsoft product that's free, built on open source,

10
00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:32,729
it's cross platform and supports Windows, Mac OS X,

11
00:00:32,729 --> 00:00:35,370
and Linux, and it's also cross language.

12
00:00:35,370 --> 00:00:38,368
It supports C++, Java, Python, JavaScript,

13
00:00:38,368 --> 00:00:41,640
and many, many other programming languages.

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,850
It's fast, it's small, and it's very powerful.

15
00:00:44,850 --> 00:00:46,530
It's also very extensible

16
00:00:46,530 --> 00:00:49,413
via extensions that we can install and customize.

17
00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:51,720
So is it easy to use?

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:52,860
Yes and no.

19
00:00:52,860 --> 00:00:54,840
It's easy to use once you set it up okay,

20
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,940
and that's the purpose of this section,

21
00:00:56,940 --> 00:00:59,850
to walk you through the setup for C++,

22
00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:01,920
you'll see a lot of different ways

23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,920
to set up Visual Studio Code out on the internet.

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,170
Some of them are okay, some of them are not okay.

25
00:01:07,170 --> 00:01:10,320
Some of them use a lot of extensions unnecessarily.

26
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:12,491
I'm gonna keep it as bare bones as I can

27
00:01:12,491 --> 00:01:15,300
so that we can get up and running

28
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:18,547
with C++ and VS Code pretty quickly.

29
00:01:18,547 --> 00:01:21,150
So what we'll do in this section is we'll go through

30
00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:22,620
the procedure needed to install

31
00:01:22,620 --> 00:01:26,880
and configure VS Code so that it works with C++.

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,752
We'll then set up a folder structure

33
00:01:28,752 --> 00:01:31,170
so that we can organize our projects

34
00:01:31,170 --> 00:01:33,753
and let us easily work with multiple projects.

35
00:01:34,590 --> 00:01:36,180
Then I'll show you how to build, run,

36
00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:38,940
and debug your own C++ programs,

37
00:01:38,940 --> 00:01:42,270
as well as the projects provided with the source code

38
00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:45,690
for this course, all in Visual Studio Code.

39
00:01:45,690 --> 00:01:47,820
Now this section contains videos

40
00:01:47,820 --> 00:01:50,250
for Windows, macOS 10, and Linux.

41
00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:53,010
You'll most likely just watch the videos that pertain

42
00:01:53,010 --> 00:01:55,200
to your specific operating system,

43
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,660
but feel free to watch them all if you like.

44
00:01:57,660 --> 00:01:59,370
Okay, so let's get started.

45
00:01:59,370 --> 00:02:02,193
First up, let's get started with Microsoft Windows.
