Boot Camp

Boot Camp Assistant is a multi-boot utility included with Apple Inc.’s macOS (previously OS X) that assists users in installing Microsoft Windows operating systems on Intel-based Macintosh computers. The utility guides users through non-destructive disk partitioning (including resizing of an existing HFS+ partition if necessary) of their hard disk drive or solid state drive and installation of Windows device drivers for the Apple hardware. The utility also installs a Windows Control Panel applet for selecting the boot operating system.

This article will show how to do Python development in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) using Visual Studio Code and Docker.
