Learn · The Visual Studio Code track

Visual Studio Code, in three levels

Each level ends with something you built and a record that links to it. You can stop after any one of them, and what you earned still stands on its own.

Open now

Visual Studio Code Foundations

Somebody else’s folder made a workspace a colleague could open: extensions, settings and formatting the project decides, and a history.

6 sessions·About 9½ hours

Earns: a Foundations completion record, linking the project you built on your own.

In development

Visual Studio Code Practitioner

A program you run and debug from the editor, a linter policy, and the editor made your own.

Earns: a Practitioner completion record.

In development

Visual Studio Code Professional

An environment beyond one machine: remote development, containers, and the editor as a platform.

Earns: a Professional completion record.

There is no vendor certificate for the editor: each level’s record links a project built on your own from a brief.

Finish all three

Completing all three levels earns the Alongrail Certificate in Visual Studio Code: three levels, three projects, each one built on your own. Like every record, it’s private until you publish it.

What the three levels add up to

This is a sample, so you can see exactly what completing the track earns.

The three levels, and the project each one links

Awarded for three completed levels and the three projects linked above.

Each level also earns its own record as you finish it. The certificate comes when all three are complete — Practitioner and Professional are in development.

The record is a description of work you did, not a claim about you. The certificate is the same, three times over. It’s issued the moment your last level record exists, private until you publish it, and yours to unpublish.
