Hi everyone. Welcome to Chapter 5 in the Visual Studio Code for Python Developers course. In this next set of videos,
0:08
what we'll be doing is talking about how we can manage our developer environment using VS Code. Specifically, we're going to be diving into topics such
0:15
as switching between different versions of Python because that might be something you need to do depending
0:20
on the collection of projects you may have on your machine. Also, we'll talk about setting up virtual environments and how we could create
0:26
these little isolated workspaces that we could use for our projects. Next, we'll also talk about some of
0:32
the built-in and open-source tools that are available to us that can really help improve our developer workflow.
0:37
Also, we'll talk about configuration settings and how using something like environment variables can be
0:43
a really good option for managing the settings of our application. Last but not least, we did see how Visual Studio Code can support
0:50
all of these different techniques using the Python extension for VS Code.
