Whether you are a seasoned IBM i developer or a newcomer on the platform, you've certainly heard about VS Code as a modern alternative to SEU and a less expensive alternative to RDi. Thanks to the Code for IBM i extension and its companion extensions, coding on IBM i has never been so fast and easy. From editing a source member to working on local source files, there is something to pick for every IBM i developer in VS Code. Join this deepdive session to get started on using VS Code as your daily driver for your IBM i developments: we'll see how to set up a development environment you'll be comfortable with. Working with sources, compiling, running custom actions, browsing the IFS and much more is on the menu for you to take home.
I am an IBM Champion and seasoned software engineer with more than 15 years of experience in the IBM i field and its ecosystem (you can throw RPG or TypeScript at me, I'll be equally happy!). I also have a strong experience in CI/CD and DevOps and I've been
involved in a few Open Source projects, especially Code for IBM i for which I'm part of the Core Team and one of it's most active contributor.
As a Tech Lead and R&D Advisor at ARCAD Software, I also developed good communication skills; especially when it comes to explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical people.
