The Visual Studio Code team this week announced improvements to the editor's Emmet experience, which speeds up development with expandable code snippets now provided via an extension.

With 14 million users, Microsoft's open source cross-platform code editor Visual Studio Code is one of its key tools for keeping developers engaged with its future in the cloud.

Microsoft's code editor Visual Studio Code now ships with a built-in Javascript debugger.

Emmet is a plugin for text and code editors lets you quickly type CSS-like abbreviations and automatically expand them into a full block of code, saving you a ton of time and hassle.
