C++ with Visual Studio 2019: target Linux and Windows, and be more productive with IntelliCode

on YouTube ↗11m

" summary

Demo shows a cross platform CMake app called pong running on Linux and Windows using Visual Studio 2019 with a new Open Folder start window and a CMake targets view that builds individual targets. Remote build uses SSH plus a remote C++ toolchain and CMake and resolves SFML via VC package. Remote header IntelliSense works, IntelliCode gives context aware STL and template suggestions, and Live Share lets a collaborator on VS Code debug and change a value to -5 to fix the paddle so the game runs correctly.
