Computer programming is an expanding and exciting field. However, the more time you spend in front of your computer trying to figure out how to create a code that enables your program or app from scratch, the less time you'll have playing with it when you get home! And with the ever-increasing amount of technology required for web development in particular, it can be tough for any individual to even craft an application from beginning to end primarily through trial and error. That's where tools like Visual Studio Code Extensions come into play!
Using VS Code extensions can both simplify your life but also improve your productivity - try it out on your next project!
