Alright, that was fun and we hope you enjoyed that module as much as we had fun putting it together.

Let's quickly summarize what you learned so that you can reinforce that throughout this closing here.
0:11
So, first of all, we learned about the user interface of Visual Studio Code
0:15
and got an interview to get acquainted with that and the different aspects of it that we should know about as first-time users of Visual Studio Code.
0:22
Then we talked about the activity and secondary sidebars. These and what their functions and purposes are for Visual Studio Code
0:29
and how we can use those to our advantage. We talked about the command panel and how it is the gateway to all things and actions and settings
0:37
and whatnot that are capabilities within Visual Studio Code
0:40
that we can do right from the keyboard without even having to lift our hands over to the mouse.
0:44
We talked about the Explorer and how that allows us to view different files and folders
0:49
and then workspaces to help us aggregate different folders, structures together as part of one project.
0:55
We took a look at the status bar and what information that provides to us. While we're writing our code, while we're using Visual Studio Code
1:03
and it gives us at a glance information for us. We talked about the terminal and how that enables you to take terminal-based actions
1:10
within Visual Studio Code without having to jump into a separate tool to handle that purpose.
1:16
We covered the settings in Visual Studio Code that allows you to customize it to your liking
1:22
but also for whenever you add new things to it like extensions that have its own settings to it. You go there to customize.
1:29
You can customize that and configure things the way you need. We covered common shortcuts that you would use to help improve your efficiency
1:36
and use of Visual Studio Code to hide and show different aspects of the UI or execute certain actions within the editor
1:43
so that you can work productively on your Python projects in VS Code.
1:48
And last but not least, Cecil and I shared some of our favorite extensions, just a couple,
1:51
and themes that we like to use to help enhance our overall development experience
1:55
and make the editor a little bit of our own with the different themes, and options that we have there. We hope you enjoyed it.
2:02
The next module, you're going to learn more about the experience of writing Python code and what you can do there within Visual Studio Code.
