Summary

In this chapter, you received a very brief overview of the tools available for creating good PowerShell code. We took a dedicated look at the PowerShell ISE and VSCode and explained some of the basics of both of them. Most simple tasks can be achieved with both tools, but you have also learned about the advantages of VSCode. With this knowledge, you should be able to get your hands on the tools and set them up. As a long-term recommendation, VSCode should become your primary tool and therefore you should learn most of its capabilities to benefit from it. The additional resources, which are consolidated under Further reading, will help you to accomplish this task. In the next two chapters, we will cover the basics for coding with PowerShell. I would recommend that you continue to use VSCode for the examples and get used to working with it.
