When this email lands in your inbox, it will be just a few hours before Microsoft's annual VS Code Day event begins — just in time to register if you haven't done so already for this live streaming event.

Here are a few relevant links if you want to see what it's all about and register:

VS Code Day: An event for an editor? on the VS Code blog
VS Code Day 2023 official event page where you can sign up

The event starts at 1PM EST (10am PT) and here's the blurb from the event page that describes what it's all about:

"VS Code Day is our annual event where you'll learn how to elevate your development workflow using the latest and greatest features of VS Code. You'll hear from members of the VS Code team and other VS Code experts on topics like AI-powered programming with GitHub Copilot, coding anywhere with remote development, bringing data science to the cloud, and more. Whether you're just starting out or you're an experienced developer, join us on April 26, 2023 for a day focused on the editor that lets you code anything, cross-platform and free!"

If you can't tune in live, I'm assuming the recordings will be made available afterwards, possibly on the VS Code YouTube channel or elsewhere. I'll keep you posted in future issues if it becomes available somewhere.

Now on to this week's hand-picked links!
