IntelliSense for Particle Device APIs are provided by Visual Studio Code language services and the C\/C++ extension. Advanced hardware debugging is available in Visual Studio Code, for actions like setting breakpoints and step-through debugging, all pre-configured for Particle hardware. There\u2019s also access to more than 3,000 official and community Particle libraries, enabling more reusability and less typing.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.particle.io\/2019\/04\/16\/particle-workbench-ga\">Particle\u2019s announcement<\/a>.\u00a0And if you\u2019re interested to learn more about how to use Particle with Microsoft Azure, learn how to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.particle.io\/2018\/09\/28\/create-the-dashboard-of-your-dreams-with-particle-electric-io\">create the dashboard of your dreams<\/a>\u00a0in this post from Paul DeCarlo.<\/p>\n<p>Happy coding!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re excited to announce that Visual Studio Code is included in the new release of tooling for Particle IoT developers.
