Course Description
Collaboration with other developers on your team is critical to building a successful piece of software. Visual Studio provides the Live Share collaboration tool directly integrated to the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Live Share is extremely useful for pair programming, code reviews, or working together to solve problems. In these lessons, we will look at how the Live Share windows and tools work and simulate a shared project. We will review how shared coding and messages appear within Visual Studio and how to invite other programmers to join your session. You will be able to start a new Live Share session with the click of a button and add your colleagues to the session within seconds, so you can edit code and solve problems together.
In these lessons on Collaborating, you will learn to set up the Visual Studio Live Share features, use the Live Share tools such as Shared Servers, and discover how to join a session. We will also discuss coding features, such as live code editing.
