Outline for Getting Started tutorial. The objective is to take a user through a guided tour of the key features of VS Code.
app.js
file@bhavyaus here's a first draft of the outline for the VS Code getting started tutorial. Do you see any key topics that are missing for someone's first experience with VS Code?
@bamurtaugh sharing the draft outline for a VS Code Getting Started tutorial. Any feedback is welcome!
Should Customize VS Code
section appear right after the Learn about the user interface
section? Past user studies suggest that offering some level of customization at the start of user interactions tends to result in sustained engagement -> the first step in the getting started walkthrough is "Choose your theme".
@daviddossett might have more info here.
Install a language extension
should be before Edit a code file
so that users can edit and run the code in the language of their choice.
@bhavyaus thanks for the feedback. I'll incorporate it.
Thanks for putting this together, looks great!
I think it could be interesting incorporate Remote Development and GitHub Copilot, maybe as Next Steps? They could become fundamental to how users develop with VS Code everyday, so I think they could make sense to highlight somewhere in a getting started.
Improve the overall getting started docs experience for new users.
