About Session
Abstract: Visual Studio Code is a top choice for today’s developers and cloud development environments (CDEs) are gaining traction but these tools have been inaccessible to developers of z/OS-based applications, until now. With Zowe and Code4z, mainframe developers are free to use these powerful tools wherever their source code resides (e.g., Git, mainframe SCM, datasets). Streamlined code navigation alone provides a compelling reason to adopt VS Code, or a compatible CDE, and with AI assistance and platform engineering rapidly emerging, teams should prepare themselves by adopting contemporary AppDev tools like these. The Code4z extension pack includes the Zowe Explorer that streamlines interaction with mainframe data sets, USS files, and jobs while Zowe CLI-enabled automations are easily accessed and run. Join this session to see the Zowe- and Code4z-enabled workflows, from discover to deploy, in action.
