      <content:encoded><![CDATA[One of the great benefits of the larger Microsoft conferences is that even if you were not able to attend, the sessions are usually posted online to be consumed on demand after the conference. Since many customers have asked for a list of Identity related sessions, I thought I would create a quick list here making it easier to share.

So if you are looking for the latest information on Azure Active Directory, and features such as Conditional Access and Privileged Identity Management (PIM),  I am sure you will find the below list a very useful place to state.
<ul>

      <title>Using VSCode for PowerShell Development</title>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: small"><a href="https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/2017/12/jEKFRPKV_400x400.jpg"><img width="244" height="244" title="jEKFRPKV_400x400" align="right" style="margin-right: 0px;margin-left: 0px;float: right" alt="jEKFRPKV_400x400" src="https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/2017/12/jEKFRPKV_400x400_thumb.jpg" border="0" /></a>A goal of mine has been to start blogging again to share information that may exist elsewhere, but allow me to centrally share it so I can easily point others to when they ask for information.  So while some information may be published, I will also look to publish public information that may not be easily found elsewhere.  </span>

<span style="font-size: small">While my core focus is on Identity services, which involves helping customers modernize their organizations,  I do many tasks that require development knowledge and tools.  So to begin I thought I would share some of the tools I commonly use as posts in this blog.</span>

<span style="font-size: small">One of my favorite tools for working with PowerShell code has been using Visual Studio with the PowerShell Extension since it was a very rich IDE and toolset.  When combined with a Visual Studio Online or GitHub GIT repo,  it makes working with code very portable and more importantly provides code history support.</span>

<span style="font-size: small">Since VSCode was released, I have been meaning to look at it’s extension support and see how I can use it to integrate in my daily workflow when not doing development in full Visual Studio.   While PowerShell is most common use case for me, it has been great for working with general files such as XML, JSON, JavaScript,  JWT/SAML tokens, Azure resource templates, etc.  Once enabling VSCode to support Visual Studio Team Services using the extension and instructions it has been my preferred environment.</span>
