Great course! Would be nice to add a video on how to setup/config/use virtual environments with VS code

Hi, thanx a lot for this beginners intro. I would be very happy if you extend it with “virtualenv” like environment with different pip packages per environment.

Wow! I am waiting for this course! And it is here. You are awesome! VS Code is my favourite code editor.

Austin,
I’m one of the writers on the RealPython team and I just wanted to say thanks so much for putting this together! Your presentation is really great, and very helpful to me. I’ve been developing with PyCharm (which is great), but have a need to switch over to using VS Code, and this was just what I needed to get started!
Again, thanks so much! Doug
