VSCode for the C# Developer - Tim Corey - NDC London 2023

VSCode is a nimble editor that can do just about anything. In this session, we will set up and configure VSCode for use in C# development. Then we will use it to build, debug, and deploy a small .NET Core web application to Azure.
Along the way, we will go over a list of the top C#-focused plugins for VSCode. Whether you are just getting started with VSCode or you are used to VSCode but want to start building C# projects, this session will get you up to speed fast.
