Docker container for courses based on the Software Foundations book. The container can be used for easy cross-platform Coq development using Visual Studio Code. The container configuration will automatically install the VsCoq extension for Visual Studio Code and configure Coq-related settings.

The image uses Coq 8.17.1 and includes all dependencies needed to complete the following Software Foundations volumes:

• Logical Foundations (Volume 1)
• Programming Language Foundations (Volume 2)
• Verified Functional Algorithms (Volume 3)
• QuickChick: Property-Based Testing in Coq (Volume 4)
• Separation Logic Foundations (Volume 6)

Setup

1. Install Docker
2. Make sure Docker is running
3. Install Visual Studio Code
4. Install Remote - Containers extension
5. Copy the .devcontainer folder to the root of your project folder

After following the above instructions open your project in Visual Studio Code and run the Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container command.
