Hi all,
I am just curious if there is a reason to use Vex Code Pro over Vex CodeV5 text. When I use Vexcode Pro, I get a message that says it’s at the end of support.
However all of the top teams I have found, their tutorials and documentation show Vex Code Pro. I am also familiar with PROS, but would not like to use it.
VexCode pro has more advanced device configuration options, and allows for bigger projects with multiple files worth of code. VexCode Pro is at the end of it’s support because it has been replaced by the extension for VSCode. The extension has all the same features as VexCode Pro, but uses the same software as professional programmers, giving it many more features.
Hi there Macauman, the reason they say that Pro is out of support is because they are suggesting that you actually switch to Visual Studio Code, with the VEXCode extension.
Visual Studio Code will give you many more tools to use, and the VEXCode Extension is being actively developed and supported by VEX.
PROS is an extension that you can add to Visual Studio Code as well, but it is not required to use Visual Studio Code with the VEXCode extension.
One of the advantages of using the Visual Studio Code extension over VEXcode V5 Text is that you can have multiple files with the Visual Studio Code extension, but not in VEXcode. This makes the code much more organized and easier to work with and is a more professional environment.
There are also other features such as IntelliSense, which makes writing code much faster because of things like autofill.
Custom themes, GitHub integration, and live-share are also very good features of visual studio code. I highly recommend using it.
