Description:

Explore dev containers with VS Code and Tutorial Navigator content in this comprehensive live session. Work through a three-part blog post series on boosting tutorial UX with dev containers, covering topics such as VS Code, development containers, CAP, CDS, Cloud Foundry, Debian, Node.js, Docker, and more. Learn to set up a development environment using Microsoft's base image for Node.js, build a custom Dockerfile, install necessary tools and modules, and configure devcontainer.json. Gain hands-on experience in creating a project structure, implementing dev container setup in VS Code, and working through a tutorial using CAP tools within the container. By the end of this session, you'll be able to leverage dev containers to enhance your development workflow and improve tutorial user experience.
