Tempe High School VSCode Setup

Visual Studio Code is the cross-platform coding environment we use across both Stage 5 Computer Technology and Stage 6 Software Engineering. When we use GitHub Codespaces in the cloud, we are using a virtualised version of Visual Studio Code. This repository contains example profiles to improve your development experience, along with links to templates for the main language environments we use.
