Overview
GitHub Codespaces Course
A full introduction to Codespaces with practical examples
This course will show you everything you need to know to be productive using GitHub Codespaces , a service that allows you to run a configurable development environment with one-click launch with a remote compute in the cloud.
Being able to run Visual Studio Code in the cloud for any project with a pre-configured environment is going to allow you to concentrate on the learning if you are student, the teaching if you are a professor, or being plain productive if you are already a technologist.
Learning Objectives
This course goes through some of the basics of using default Codespaces environments, but it also goes into configuring environments to take advantage of its best features, including:
- Learning about Codespaces uses and how it fits for learning, teaching, or working in projects
- Running default Codespaces and configuring it in your GitHub account
- Configuring Codespaces for different development environments
- Applying practical examples in Codespaces environments using Docker, Python, and many other tools

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
