What is Emmet and what can you do with it in Visual Studio Code?

If you are a fan of Visual Studio Code like I am, you've surely noticed that it contains a superb code editor, that can be extended to pretty much everything. Code snippets and writing code faster is part of the credo of code editors, and usually, the faster, the better.

Enter technology called Emmet. This feature in Visual Studio Code is built-in, and allows faster code writing especially for web application developers working with HTML and CSS.

Unlike traditional code snippets, Emmet shortcuts use a particular syntax for writing code faster. It is best described with a short video, so be sure to check out the Emmet Visual Studio Code documentation page, linked previously.

In case you want to churn code even faster, make sure you master this technique. Highly recommended!
