**Next-Gen Ansible Development Tools in Windows, macOS or Linux!**
by Leo Gallego
In this session, we’ll show you how to speed up your automation content creation using the all-new Ansible Development Tools, now available on any OS—Windows, macOS, or Linux! We’ll introduce a streamlined, Dev Container approach for VS Code that accelerates your workflow—from installing all the tools to initializing a collection, linting, testing with Molecule, and deploying with ansible-navigator and ansible-builder. Whether you're a seasoned pro looking for shortcuts or a beginner wanting to build a solid foundation, you’ll discover new ways and best practices to develop and deploy Ansible content faster than ever.

**A Love Letter to Ansible Core 2.19**
Matt Davis (aka nitzmahone)
Nervous about upgrading to Ansible Core 2.19? Learn how the revamped template engine and error handling in Ansible's latest release will make your life easier from a self-proclaimed Ansible lover.

**Enhanced Module Debugging with Ansible**

This session will explore the new debugging capabilities for Ansible modules, covering Python support introduced in Ansible Core 2.19 and upcoming PowerShell support in 2.20 and beyond. We’ll walk through how these modules can be debugged directly on remote hosts without additional setup or file transfers. Attendees will see how to connect from editors like PyCharm or VS Code to step through code live, making troubleshooting faster and more intuitive.
