Many Developer Community members are probably already aware of the growing popularity of Visual Studio Code. Its architecture allows extensions to enhance the core product, so over the past few years individual DC members, partner companies such as George James Software, and InterSystems themselves have built some.
Coming up on Thursday March 3rd, VS Code Day 2022, the second official Visual Studio Code event from Microsoft.
Join the Visual Studio Code team and community at a live event just for VS Code users. Get a glimpse of things to come and meet the team who works on VS Code every day.
In my previous post I described how to install the pre-release of the Server Manager 3 extension and benefit from enhanced security for your stored credentials.
The InterSystems Server Manager extension for Visual Studio Code lets you define connections to your servers, list their namespaces and edit or view code there. You can also launch Portal for a server.
Server Manager 3.0 improves security by becoming a VS Code Authentication Provider. It is my entry for the November 2021 InterSystems Security Contest. Click here to visit the contest page where you may decide to vote for this entry. Please ignore the clickable "Contestant" label on this article header above, as it relates to a different contest for new DC articles. If you want to support me in that contest, simply "like" this post.
Right now version 2.0 is like an aircraft at the start of the runway (remember those days before COVID-19?), waiting for the control tower to give final clearance. Will you be an early adopter, downloading the VSIX from GitHub, installing it into your VS Code, and posting back here to confirm that we haven't left anything critical behind at the gate? Then I'll push the throttles forward, publish to Marketplace, and we'll all be on our way.
Server Manager 2.0 is my entry for the current contest. If you like it maybe you'll vote for me it.
