Experiment with New Languages and Frameworks with VS Code Remote Development in Containers
Monday, July 8, 2019
In April, Visual Studio Code launched their new Remote Development extensions. With VS Code Remote Development, a VS Code instance on our local machine can access and use a container, remote machine, or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) as a full-featured development environment.
I've been using all three flavors of VS Code Remote Development and they each unlock some really exciting scenarios. Today, we'll look at how VS Code Remote with containers allows us to experiment with new languages and frameworks without installing any new tools or SDKs on our machines.
The specific scenario we'll look at is to use a container to test out the latest nightly build of ASP.NET Core 3.0 (currently Preview 7).
