VS Code and Code for IBM i Hidden Gems 2.0 – extended edition
Thanks to the Code for IBM i open source extension, VS Code became an IDE of choice for whoever wants to do some development on IBM i. Less expansive (as in “free”) and more modern than RDi, it’s already a daily driver for IBM i professionals and enthusiasts alike. But what does it have to offer we barely know? What are the less-known features that can make a developer’s life easier? The legend tells that it’s even possible to work locally on IBM i source code synchronized with Git or to use Visual Explain right from VS Code. But the best is yet to come and see for yourself!
Whether you are a seasoned developer or just curious, join me to discover or rediscover the hidden gems that VS Code has to offer. Don’t be a stranger and bring your questions along!
This session will include new gems and cover more topics than the usual one-hour session!

Sébastien “Seb” Julliand is the R&D Tech Lead for i and me – IT Training and Solutions GmbH, an active contributors to several IBM i open-source projects and an IBM Champion since 2024. Seb loves to talk about anything related to software development or DevOps, on IBM i or not, it doesn’t matter to me. RPGLE, Java, TypeScript, Jenkins, TOBi…he loves them all equally 🙂 He’s one of the main maintainer of the Code for i VS Code extension as well as the creator of the IBM i Pipeline Steps Jenkins plugin. When Seb is not busy coding, he gives education sessions about Code for IBM i, VS Code and open source in general.
