# Today on 24HOP: Writing PowerShell with VS Code

For those of you still using PowerShell ISE, I know the news about Microsoft no longer actively developing the ISE was sad. The good news is that it's been replaced by something WAY cooler: [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/).

VS Code is free, open-source and a joy to use. If you'd like to make the move, or if you just want to see how PowerShell Pros use VS Code, [Rob Sewell](https://blog.robsewell.com) will be presenting an hour long web session today for [24 Hours of PASS Summit Preview](https://passdatacommunitysummit.com/) at **June 12, 2018 at 20:00 GMT**.

I use Google to help me convert and it seems that 20:00 GMT is 3:00 PM New Orleans/Central, 22:00 Brussels/Paris and 01:30 Wednesday in New Delhi. But please check using Google or [this converter](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20180612T20&p1=%3A&ah=1) to be sure.
