Visual Studio Code's new Milestone
Microsoft today announced a significant milestone for its Visual Studio product family: Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code now serve more than 50 million monthly active developers combined.
First introduced 28 years ago, Visual Studio remains a leading integrated development environment (IDE), largely due to the popularity of the Windows ecosystem. Over the years, it has evolved to support cross-platform development, cloud-native applications, game development, data science workflows, and more. It remains one of the few IDEs to include compilers, debuggers, profilers, designers, and language services out of the box.

- Responsive Web Design -
Responsive Web Design is about creating webpages that look great when viewed on any device and screen size. Whether viewed on a TV, desktop, tablet or smart phone, web pages should provide an enjoyable, visitor friendly experience for everyone.
The way we do this, is to set the page content to automatically fit each visitor's device “viewport” (screen width), using various CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) controls. We simply set the page content to automatically fit each visitor's device “viewport” (screen width), using various CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) controls.
Typically, page controls are applied to, page sizes, margins and padding, font type and sizes, plus lots more. This has the advantage of any website’s content being precisely re-arranged to display correctly on every viewing device.
Test your code with Nu Html Checker
Nu Html Checker is very helpful in pinpointing code errors and providing solutions, however be aware of their following disclaimer:
The Nu Html Checker (v.Nu) is an ongoing experiment in better HTML checking, and its behaviour remains subject to change. In particular, because new types of error checks continue to be actively added to the checker, there is no guarantee provided that if the checker reports zero errors for a particular document at one point in time, it will report zero errors for that same document at some later point in time.
The Nu Html Checker should not be used as a means to attempt to unilaterally enforce pass/fail conformance of documents to any particular specifications; it is intended solely as a checker, not as a pass/fail certification mechanism.
