Introduction
Visual Studio Code is an ever more popular
code editor these days, and its usage is very much encouraged for ATLAS code
development. It can help significantly when writing
C++ and
Python code

IntelliSense code

languages available, and can even provide instant rendering for
Markdown files, which can be very
useful when editing README.md files for instance.
The following pages describe best practices for using VS Code while developing ATLAS offline/trigger/analysis software.
