#VSCode

I'm excited to let you know that we at George James Software have released some new VS Code training courses. Following the success of our Basics course we have expanded our offering to help InterSystems users looking to move to VS Code improve their knowledge.

Here's what's on offer...
Studio to VS Code Migration - The Basics (2.5 hours)

I recently realized it's been far too long since I talked about the latest features in the InterSystems ObjectScript Extension for Visual Studio Code.

I'm pleased to announce version 2.12.1 of the ObjectScript extension, containing a number of enhancements that make a developer's life easier. Some highlights are described below, including the #1 requested feature from Global Summit -- XML import!

אתם משתמשים כבר ב-VS Code עם שרת InterSystems או שרק עכשיו מתחילים להשתמש?

אנחנו קוראים לכל מפתחי הקהילה שלנו להצטרף לוובינר הבא (בעברית!) שבו נעסוק בכל הנושאים היותר מתקדמים בעבודה עם VS Code.

As first announced in May, and after many presentations and robust discussions at Global Summit 2023, we are continuing with the plans to deprecate InterSystems Studio (deprecated designates a feature or technology that InterSystems no longer actively develops, and for which better options exist).

The VS Code extension for Deltanji source control has been updated to version 1.2.3. View the change log here for a full list of updates: https://bit.ly/3PqMJ26

Users can now benefit from the VS Code Quick Diff feature when using the ObjectScript extension. To use this feature just click on the gutter decorations to reveal an inline diff experience, where you can contribute contextual commands. You just need to provide VS Code with the original contes of any given file.

Hi Community,

We're pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Hebrew:

VS Code has a powerful snippets capability, and its Marketplace offers a way for developers to publish their snippets so others can use them. However, publishing on Marketplace takes some effort and snippets targeting InterSystems coders will realistically only be of interest to a very small number of Marketplace visitors.

As the announcement of Studio's deprecation has been made, users may be wondering about making a smooth transition to VS Code.

George James Software has extensive experience in VS Code, through regularly contributing to VS Code itself and building and maintaining a number of Extensions. This, combined with our expert knowledge of InterSystems technologies, gives us an in-depth understanding of what the process involves and means we have the unique capabilities to ensure a smooth migration from InterSystems Studio to VS Code.

We offer bespoke consultation, with recommendations that are tailored to your organization's specific needs. Alternatively, we will be hosting a monthly public webinar that is designed specifically for users migrating from Studio to VS Code.

If you're ready to make the switch and would like to find out more, please come and speak to us at the Global Summit next week - you'll be able to find George James Software in the Partner Pavilion. Our team will be happy to chat with you about how you can ensure your migration is seamless.

Alternatively, you can send me a direct message here on the Developer Community, or email us at info@georgejames.com.

InterSystems is committed to providing a high quality developer experience including a great IDE (Integrated Developer Experience). For the past several years we have been evolving Visual Studio Code's ObjectScript tooling in parallel with our long-standing IDE, InterSystems Studio. There have been over 46,000 downloads of the VSCode-ObjectScript plugin, and the feedback from developers is that this is a great developer experience, and now superior to InterSystems Studio.

Our gj :: codeSpex extension for VS Code, which is part of the DX Jetpack, allows documentation to be displayed inline while you are coding classes. In some cases the documentation is extensive, and the lack of scrolling support in the VS Code comment element we are using was degrading the DX.

I'm pleased to announce version 2.6.0 of the VS Code ObjectScript extension, containing a number of enhancements that make a developer's life easier. Some highlights are described below. As always, find the full list of modifications in the CHANGELOG, including many bug and vulnerability fixes.

It's not too late to strap into the DX Jetpack for VS Code, take it for a test flight, and consider voting for it.

Online demo on Gitpod is HERE.

Ignore any initial notifications about ports being opened.

The ServerDiff extension will ask for permission to reinstall itself in order to use the `quickDiff` API proposal that it relies on. Click 'Yes'.

If you haven’t already please give @John Murray your vote in the Developer Tool contest >> http://bit.ly/3XcxyeS

🚀 DX Jetpack boosts your developer experience when using VS Code with InterSystems platforms. 🚀

This extension pack includes:

gj :: codeSpex - showing help using VS code's commenting feature.

ObjectScript class view - View and navigate all class members plus where they are inherited from.

ServerDiff - See the difference between the code you are editing in VS Code and the server copy.
