About the Webinar:

Our Lunch and Learn session – VS Code & IBM i: Streamlining Your Development Workflow, will showcase the effectiveness of VS Code and the ‘Code for IBM i’ extension in increasing IBM i development productivity and flexibility.

Visual Studio Code (VS Code), the popular code editor by Microsoft, has emerged as a versatile and lightweight alternative to RDi and SEU. This powerful open-source code editor ensures compatibility with IBM i/AS400 systems, supports numerous programming languages, and offers numerous updated extensions, improving code management, collaboration, and development workflows.

The ‘Code for IBM i’ extension integrates with VS Code, allowing developers to efficiently write, edit, and debug code directly within the familiar VS Code environment. It offers advanced tools, modern IDE capabilities, and features like IntelliSense, integrated source control management, and syntax highlighting for optimized project collaboration and management.

These powerful tools ensure efficient code development, management, and maintenance for optimized IBM i development processes when used together.

In this session, our experienced IBM i subject expert, Rishab Kaushik, will provide invaluable insights and tips on leveraging VS Code and ‘Code for IBM i’ to reduce the SLDC time.
