This is the point at which we begin to turn the dial on VS Code from "Editor" to "IDE".

This is also the most dense part of the workshop. Debugging configurations can be tedious and tricky. If you get frustrated, don't feel bad. You're not alone. Work your way through these exercises and I promise that you will understand far more than most people about VS Code's debugging abilities.

Open the "exercise-4-debugging" folder. It will tell you that there is a workspace file and ask if you want to open it. Select "Yes".

There are 4 projects in this folder. You will work through each one. As you do, be aware of which project you are working with. It's easy to get confused during this exercise because there are 4 projects within which to work.
