Data Science in Visual Studio Code using Neuron, a new VS Code extension – Microsoft Faculty Connection

In this post, I'll give a short explanation of neuron, a Visual Studio Code extension that aims to be a one-stop-shop for data scientists. It's an extension I developed as part of a team of students at Imperial College London, in collaboration with Microsoft, in the summer of 2018. Data science is the buzz-word of the 21st century. From IoT devices generating thousands of data points per day, to social media connecting people's information on a scale never seen before, a lot of the development that goes on today sooner or later comes into contact with "data science". Data scientists come from various different technical backgrounds, but the vast majority of them use a standard set of tools of the trade: Python, insert name of trending machine-learning library, and Jupyter Notebooks.
