George James Software are passionate about the power of Visual Studio Code and how it can be used to enhance the development experience. This passion began a couple of years after VS Code’s 2015 launch, when we recognized its capabilities in providing an integrated development for any language, any operating system, anywhere.
Our roots in the software industry date back to our founding in 1989, with developer tools always being a core focus. Our commitment to quality and innovation led us to adapt and expand our internal toolset as we worked on bespoke projects for customers, and we then made these tools available to others.
These developer tools, which include enterprise-grade source control and an advanced debugger, have already been re-engineered as fully integrated VS Code extensions. They’re actively maintained, with regular updates that take advantage of new VS Code features.
Our work with VS Code goes extensions beyond extensions. We actively contribute to the VS Code community, regularly engaging in issue triaging and frequently having our pull requests accepted.
This involvement has allowed us to understand VS Code’s architecture on a deeper level and gain early knowledge of upcoming features, ensuring our extensions harness VS Code’s full potential.
We also offer training sessions for developers adopting VS Code. In these, we help attendees configure their environments and go through both basic and advanced features of VS Code.
Our software engineering skills relevant to building VS Code extensions include:
* Node.js
* TypeScript
* JavaScript
* HTML, CSS
* VS Code APIs and libraries
* Unit testing
* Git / GitHub / GitLab
* UX / UI expertise
