  2. How to run the codes?
    1. Go to extension. The extension is located in the activity bar ( the left side of the screen above ). The extension is the one with the square icon, yes the last icon in the left side of the screen.

    2. Search for "code runner". You will see an extension by Ng Jun Han. Install the extension. The extension has many users, what do I mean by many? You can compare it to other extensions, it has a big obvious amount of users.

    3. Now leave Vs code and enter again. You will see a triangle button at the right corner of the code screen. Click it and the codes will run automatically.

    Feel free to ask any question. I will try to answer all of them.

  3. to bad, that you didn't mention these handy shortcuts:
    1) html autocompletion:
    *) myTag –> <myTag></myTag>,

    *) myTag.myClass –> <myTag class="myClass"></myTag>,

    *) myTag#myId –> <myTag id="myId"></myTag>,

    *) myTag.myClass#myId –> <myTag class="myClass" id="myId"></myTag>
    2) html/css/js commenting/uncommenting:
    *) select piece of code and hit ctrl+/ (if it's uncommented it will become commented, and if it's commented it will become uncommented)
    3) html/css/js indenting up/indenting down:
    *) select piece of code and hit tab to indent it up or shift+tab to indent it down
    one uses these over and over again.
    also i noticed, that if you want to move the line of code up or down, you can simply have a coursor on that line hold alt and use up or down arrow keys to do so. and the best thing about it is, that it respects indentation! 😉

  4. Seems to focus a bit too much on customization instead of the basics. Changing the color scheme or the icons is not something a beginner needs to know how to do right away. Even experts may never use those features.
