  Discover the VS Code extensions for developing with InterSystems. Using VS Code, connect to InterSystems servers for client-side and server-side source code editing.

  VS Code is the recommended IDE for developing on an InterSystems server; it is an open-source product from Microsoft that provides typical IDE features such as file browsing and terminals. In addition, you can add extensions to expand its capabilities and allow it to handle a large range of scenarios.

  In this exercise, you will see multiple methods of connecting to an InterSystems server via VS Code, each with its own benefits.
