Today Microsoft at Build conference 2015 introduced its latest software Visual Studio Code for Mac and Linux. A new tool to make it even easier for developers to manage their app code regardless of what platform they are using. This version of Visual Studio Code is not actually the copy of Visual Studio that is actually used for many purpose. Visual Studio Code actually have limited features and capabilities, which a regular developers who works on Visual Studio won’t find in Visual Studio Code. Instead, Visual Studio Code is a code optimized editor for Windows, OS X, and Linux, with support for IntelliSense (an intelligent code completion system), debugging, and GIT. The developer tool also features integration with GitHub. It is designed to be small, fast, and lightweight, so it should work well on a wide range of PCs. The announcement comes as Microsoft continues its cloud-first, cross platform approach with support for OS X, iOS, and Android with a number of its services and apps including Office. Visual Studio Code will be available for free, and can be downloaded later on Wednesday from VisualStudio.com.
