This 33-minute tutorial explores how to define and use development environments as code both locally and in the cloud through Dev Containers and GitHub Codespaces. Learn about developer environments, using containers for program runtime, and implementing Dev Containers with VS Code extensions. Discover how to configure devcontainer.json definitions, set up port forwarding, and open projects in dev containers with local file system mapping. The video also covers GitHub Codespaces architecture, browser-based interaction, VS Code integration, complete isolation features, and the default universal image. Practical demonstrations show these technologies in action, with additional information on licensing considerations and usage scenarios to simplify your development experience across environments.
