Learn programming through an adaptive course inside VS Code. A short chat finds out what you
want to build and what you already know; then the course hands you one task at a time, in your
own project, and the tests in the Test Explorer tell you when it works. A tutor in the secondary
side bar answers when you ask.
Getting started
Run MargaretAI Learning: Start from the Command Palette. It opens the welcome page, where
you pick your language and type the invitation code your course gave you.
Keep the recovery key it shows you. It is your account: there is no password, and without the
key the account cannot be restored on another machine.
Answer the two sharing questions. Saying no to every one of them still gives you the whole
course.
MargaretAI Learning: Welcome explains all of this again whenever you want it.
