The article outlines a user study conducted with computer science students from Kiel University, focusing on their software development experiences and skills. Participants voluntarily joined in groups, with incentives offered for participation. The study included mostly Master's and some undergraduate students, all of whom expressed a desire to become software developers. Insights gained reveal significant familiarity with VS Code among participants, while their prior work in development—through employment or open source—varied. This study adds to our understanding of educational impacts on software development capabilities.
The conducted user study included seven groups of students, all aiming to explore their knowledge and experience in software development, particularly in VS Code.
Participants in the study reported varying levels of software development experience, with most having prior work experience while a few are actively engaged in open source projects.
