What is Visual Studio Code aka VSCode
Microsoft clone Sublime project to create a new editor. It’s different with Visual Studio. VSCode is more simple, quickly and friendly. I love this project that supports many extensions for improving the experience.
I don’t introduce how to install VSCode and how to search extensions. I think it’s a easy job. I focus on how to use extensions and how to set up.

I’m a embedded system engineer and telecommunication engineer. I often use C/C++ to implement the ideas and do my jobs. VSCode also recommend this extension.
C++ Intellisense
I use this extensions to find the referneces in my code. It’s a powerful feature like as Source Insight.
