We'll also go through the various ways to step through scripts and evaluate variables and expressions with the watch window. Next, we'll learn about advanced breakpoints and how to configure launch.json to configure how to launch scripts.

several year I used to develop PowerShell script into PowerShell ISE. It worked very well, but it looked like "old". Since many years, almost four, I started using Visual Studio Code to edit every kind of files, including PowerShell files. The reason is really simple: Visual Studio Code is more powerful than PowerShell IDE. I show you the reason why.

a great way to handle working with multiple terminal applications in one space, and the ability to customize the environment to suit your needs (both aesthetic and functional) make it a perfect tool for anyone who lives in a shell environment for hours on end.

I commented out the color names to align with PowerShell tokens so you can use it as a base to create your own theme.

Although all IDEs I regularly use feature an integrated terminal which opens in repository root by default, I rarely used them because they didn't match my configuration. So I decided to check if there was a way to make them use my default PowerShell profile.

Visual Studio Code. This release contains months of architectural work that first shipped in our PowerShell Preview extension in November of 2019, along with incremental bug fixes in the intervening months. If you are new to Visual Studio Code this article is helpful for getting started. If you already use Visual Studio Code with the PowerShell extension, read on to find out what is new.

When you work with code every day, you must have a go-to code editor. For many developers out there, Visual Studio (VS) Code is their editor of choice. Stick around for this Visual Studio Code tutorial.

PowerShell scripts and modules. That tool is called the PowerShell Integrated Scripting Editor (ISE), which was originally included out-of-box with Windows 7 and PowerShell version 2.0. Over the years, PowerShell developers have used tools like Quest PowerGUI and Visual Studio with the PowerShell Tools Extension to write, test, and debug their PowerShell code. In fact, not all that long ago, I wrote about moving from PowerGUI over to Visual Studio for your PowerShell development work. Since then, the momentum in the software field has gotten more and more agile, requiring developers to invest more and more time learning, and less time focusing on their business logic.

the Windows Terminal. You're going to get a full rundown of nearly all features of Windows Terminal and learn how it can help you get things on Windows at the command line.

Visual Studio Codespaces allows you to do cloud-hosted development for wherever you're working. While the new services support many different programming and scripting languages, it also supports PowerShell.
