elm.js at top level causes problems with VSCode on Windows

[melston]

When using VSCode with the elm tooling extension on Windows the presence of the elm.js file at the top level of the project causes a popup every time you open one of the elm files in the src directory. It complains that "'console' is undefined".

The recommendation (taken from an elm-tooling issue ) is to not name the bundle 'elm.js'.

Thanks! This has already been fixed in the final draft of the book (it uses app.js throughout now) but I haven't circled back and updated this repo yet. 😄

In the meantime I took a slightly different approach (which seems to work). I use 'elm.js' but put it in a 'js' subdirectory. VSCode is fine with that and I don't see any other issues. I did update the index.html file accordingly.

To add some more info, it's not due to VSCode, but how your shell handles file endings in windows.
