As I continued to look for new issues in an effort to contribute to Visual Studio Code, it was back to the 4000+ issue list for my next bug. In no time I came across a recently filed “feature request”. #46509 – Disable breakpoint command. If you’re not a regular user of Visual Studio Code, […]
In continuation of, Microsoft Visual Studio Code: First Contribution, I’ll be talking about my experience working with Visual Code extension grammars, Text Mate, and extension development.
What a better way to kick off the new term by continuing right where I left off. Contributing to the open source community. This time around things are going to be a little different.
Follow my progress as a new contributor to Microsoft’s Visual Studio code.

Brief History GNU is an operating system with 100% free software. It was launched in 1983 by Richard Stallman (rms) […]
Release 0.2 reflects how we have grown as developers throughout the semester. Instead of new software updates, it’s new and improved skills as inspiring developers.
Our latest lesson was focused on the importance of effective source code reading. Projects can contain millions of lines of code. Imagine trying to find the right spot to fix a bug or add a new feature? In ordered to improve our code reading skills this week’s lab was made up of three separate tasks. […]
Being a student developer, I still have a lot to learn. But found it’s also important to never stop learning. No matter how experienced you are. Engaging in the open-source community has exposed me to hands-on experiences with real-world applications. Experiences that can’t be taught from a textbook.
