Language-Specific Prerequisites
Node
.NET
NOTE: The default experience for C# uses class libraries (*.cs files), which provide superior performance, scalability, and versatility over C# Scripts (*.csx files). If you want to use C# Scripts, you may change your azureFunctions.projectLanguage user setting to C#Script.
Java
Python
Python 3.6.x or 3.7.x
NOTE: Python 3.6.8 is the last release of Python 3.6.x with installable binaries for Windows.
PowerShell
NOTE: Debugging PowerShell functions and placing breakpoints works differently than other languages for now. Take a look at the official guide for locally debugging PowerShell functions for complete steps.
Managing Azure Subscriptions
If you are not signed in to Azure, you will see a "Sign in to Azure..." link. Alternatively, you can select "View->Command Palette" in the VS Code menu, and search for "Azure: Sign In".
If you don't have an Azure Account, you can sign up for one today for free and receive $200 in credits by selecting "Create a Free Azure Account..." or selecting "View->Command Palette" and searching for "Azure: Create an Account".
You may sign out of Azure by selecting "View->Command Palette" and searching for "Azure: Sign Out".
To select which subscriptions show up in the extension's explorer, click on the "Select Subscriptions..." button on any subscription node (indicated by a "filter" icon when you hover over it), or select "View->Command Palette" and search for "Azure: Select Subscriptions". Note that this selection affects all VS Code extensions that support the Azure Account and Sign-In extension.
