Re: VS Code debugger

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are several items on YouTube - I googled for *ibm i extensions for 
vs code* and got several playlists. As I recall, Code for i has several 
introductory items in VS Code - there is also the challenge just getting 
used to VS Code itself, in my experience - again, there are several 
helpful intro bits in VS Code itself.

Seiden Group has community gatherings on Code for IBM i every couple 
weeks - here's the page where you can register, if you haven't done so 
yet - https://www.seidengroup.com/vs-code-for-i-fridays/
