[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [General] Visual Studio Code ROS Extension

[Andrew Short]

Hey all,

I have released the first version of my [ROS visual studio code extension](http://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ajshort.ros). It's still in early stages, but has a few features to help make ROS development easier:

* Automatic ROS environment configuration.
* Highlighting for common ROS files.
* Create catkin packages.
* Start and stop the master, and view status.
* Run `catkin_make`, `rosrun` and `roslaunch` from inside the editor.

You can install the extension using `ext install ros`, or see the [README](https://github.com/ajshort/vscode-ros/blob/master/README.md) file for more details. Feedback and contributions are very welcome!
