[ENH] VS code : extensions recommended

[josephsalmon]

We should add a list of VSCode recommended packages for the default users:

• Markdown visualizer (extension with TeX rendering even better : Markdown+Math):
• linter/flake8 stuff
• SpellChecker
• LaTeX compiler
• etc.

I 've started this here: https://github.com/bcharlier/HMMA238/blob/master/Courses/IDE/tp.md
any feedback from hard core user: @tanglef @QB3 ?

Well, on my hand I would just advise not to use the default Microsoft python linter but rather cornflakes (much more user-friendly).

I also like liveshare which is kind of an overleaf inside vscode (useful with remote work).

Nice work! Everything seems great to me :) This is funny, what you are doing looks like an extended version of this: the [ https://missing.csail.mit.edu/ | missing semester of CS ] . Maybe it is already done elsewhere in the course, but it may worth mention jupyter notebooks and google colab for people without python distrib. Finally, maybe this is an advanced feature, but for people doing computation on clusters the [ https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscode-ext.sync-rsync | synrsync extension ] is a game changer.

Thanks for the feedback.

A last point might be: what's your favorite LaTeX extension? any good snippet available somewhere? Sublime was great for that but I am not yet up to date on this part for VSCode.

[tanglef]

Might not be a very useful answer but:

• for the LaTeX, LaTeX Workshop might be the go-to (because many extensions for LaTeX use it as a base), but it's not all-in-one (you need a TeX distrib installed) so I went back to TeXmaker (where I already had my own snippets...)
• Except from the extensions Pylance and Python Docstring generator which contain nice common snippets, there are (sometimes) good ones on pythondiscord. But (almost) never already for VSC.

Hopefully that was somewhat helpful
