Visual Studio Code v1.0.0. Build and debug modern web and cloud applications. Visual Studio Code provides developers with a new choice of developer tool that combines the simplicity and streamlined experience of a code editor with the best of what developers need for their core.
Big Apple-related news out of the for developers today, as Microsoft has unveiled Visual Studio Code for the Mac, a cross-platform code editor for OS X. Visual Studio Code runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Microsoft describes the editor as a “code optimized editor,” supporting Intellisense, debugging, and GIT, along with integration with GitHub. Developers can use the code editor to write apps for each of the three platforms it supports. Apple continues to move forward with its cloud-based cross-platform initiative, adding support for OS X, iOS, and Android devices to a number of its services and apps.
Notes that Microsoft purchased HockeyApp late last year, a competitor to the Apple-owned TestFlight app, which allows developers to distribute application beta builds directly to testers, and easily view analytics information from those testers. Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code for Mac is now available to download for free. The new editor is available at this link.
