Continuing right along with Microsoft announcements from the Build 2015 conference we bring to you Microsoft Visual Studio Code – a new, free, cross-platform code editor. That’s right, cross-platform. This baby works on not only Windows systems, but Linux and Apple’s Mac OS X platforms.
Visual Studio Code’s big brother, Visual Studio, is still Windows only – but this is a great step in the right direction. Apart from your basic set of code editor features such as syntax highlighting, customizable keyboard bindings, and snippets, Visual Studio Code comes with a range of interesting features including a rich code assistance and navigation for multiple languages. Furthermore Microsoft is offering built-in support for several languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, and ASP.NET 5.
So go ahead and download Visual Studio Code for free today and let me know in the comments what you think.
