3.1. Running Blinky
Each project has its own source files, target configuration, SDK configuration, and build configurations such as the
Debug
and
Release
build configurations. The IDE can be used to manage multiple projects in a collection called a
workspace. Workspace settings are applied globally to all projects within the workspace. This can include settings
such as key bindings, window preferences, and code style and formatting options. Project actions, such as build
and debug are context sensitive. For example, the user must select a project in the
Project Explorer
view in order
to build that project.
