For example, the instructor will frequently use the Python Debugger in VS Code, and other text editors may have entirely different mechanisms for debugging, and you may have to figure that out on your own. If you want to follow what the instructor is doing exactly, you should install VS Code and the extensions listed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Presenter(s): Kendra Oudyk<\/p>\n\n\n<div  class=\"tribe-block
