Developing Data Functions in Spotfire

In this session of Dr. Spotfire you'll learn how to transform your approach to creating Python Data Functions for Spotfire. We'll explore how Visual Studio Code (VS Code), a powerful Integrated Development Environment (IDE), can significantly enhance your development workflow. While Spotfire offers robust analytical capabilities, VS Code provides crucial features like debugging, autocomplete (IntelliSense), and Large Language Model (LLM) assistance through GitHub Copilot. This session will guide you through the practical steps of setting up and using VS Code to seamlessly integrate with Spotfire.

We will touch on:
- How to configure VS Code to leverage Spotfire's Python engine.
- Effective methods for transferring data from your Spotfire analysis directly into your VS Code environment.
- Explore the debugging capabilities in VS Code to troubleshoot your Python scripts efficiently.
- Instructions for step-by-step testing of your code within VS Code to ensure accuracy and reliability before deployment in Spotfire.
