Re: VS Code Questions

[K Crawford <kscx3ksc@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would recommend Seiden Group www.seidengroup.com.  They have support and
education.  I have not done those but they have Code for i Friday.  Every
other Friday or so they have a zoom meeting where you can ask questions and
watch a demo on many topics. etc.
I get a lot out of it.
