If you are in Data Science, then chances are you would have used Jupyter Notebook, and perhaps a code editor like Visual Studio Code (VS Code). Jupyter Notebook allows you to combine both code and markdown into a single canvas that is ideal for documenting, sharing, and debugging your work. However, we often have to keep going back and forth between Jupyter Notebook and VS Code to deploy our code as a working program. Well now you can run everything on VS Code, which is natively supporting Jupyter Notebook .ipynb as well as Python .py files!
