Feature Presentation: Getting Started with Visual Studio Code
At the last meeting, we talked about Visual Studio Code, which is a cross platform, source code editor, with lots of extensibility. Brian Webster will show how he got started, some of the features built in, and some of the extensions he added. Currently, there are a few additional features he would like it to have, so we may explore those as well. There should be plenty of time if others would like to do a quick demo of their editor as well.
Location
We realize that having a physical meeting in Ames might not be accessible for some people in the Des Moines area. We now have a second location set up at Webpec in Urbandale. We'll link with Zoom.us.

About CIDUG Meetings
The first hour is our feature presentation where someone presents about a particular topic. After the presentation the meeting changes to an open discussion/question time. If you have a question, learned something cool, or would like to bounce ideas around with others, please come and share!
Please do sign up so you get a reminder the day before.
See you there!

CIDUG Online Option
If you want to practice social distancing, I want to remind people that we do have the option to attend via Zoom:
Online in Zoom.

Currently on ISU Campus, gatherings of more than 20 people are not allowed. Our physical attendance has been no more than 3-4 people at each location. I'll be in at the Ames location and will not be offended if people join via zoom instead.
I hope to see you in one form or another tonight to learn about VS Code!
Thanks, and more info...
Thanks for showing interest in the Visual Studio Code demonstration last night. It was a fun topic to do, and I've worked more on it today, so I'll share my current environment. I think that'll be more useful than the slides I showed. Recording is available at https://youtu.be/vrsg5AxTKQg

I will continue to work on my configuration, really want to use drupal-check and PHP Debug.
