How to install Visual Studio Code on Windows from ZIP file

If you need a new playground for yourself, the Visual Studio Code is your best choice. Is this a full IDE? No! But you can highly customize it according to your needs. You can literally download your desired language extensions from the ocean of about 2,660 extensions! So you won't have to worry about the "Language support" thing. Need any more support? Download it! You'll get access to a massive library of programming languages, including Nitrogen or Lean (have you ever heard of these? Me neither!). You can also debug your codes from 68 free debuggers from them(including C/C++, Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, C#, Go, Lua, Haxe, Android, and others). Well, if you have less internet access, the VS code should not work as expected, but it'll work better than most other IDEs in the market.
