Visual Studio Code is a software development tool from Microsoft which can be used for remote development with Compute Canada clusters over SSH. In this context, users can run the graphical interface of Visual Studio Code locally, on their personal computer, while connecting to a cluster where the source code is located and where the debugging and testing operations are being executed. While Visual Studio Code may be used for development in a variety of programming languages, in this page we will focus on its use with Python.
