In this 2-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to use the debugging tool associated with Visual Studio Code. One of the key features of Visual Studio Code is the debugging support. VS Code has a built-in debugger that helps accelerate your edit, compile and debug on a loop. VS Code has built-in debugging support for the Node.js runtime and can debug JavaScript, and TypeScript.
