What exactly is all of this hype around Merlin, VS Code and Next Gen Apps? Are you confused about what exactly "Next Gen Apps" really means, how your existing development fits into this new paradigm, and if you should consider embracing one of these new tools? Compare and contrast your development environment(s): SEU, RDi, VS Code and Merlin (and others??) and see what your different options are - then consider each package's inherent strengths and weaknesses as you start to move down the Next Gen path.

Learning Objectives:
1. Learn what NextGen Apps actually are
2. Learn about Merlin
3. Learn about VS Code and all of its "different flavors"
4. Compare and contrast Merlin v VS Code
5. Live demo of both tools
