We need Full Version of Visual Studio for Mac Os x. M.TLab shared this idea Oct 31, 2013 Flag idea as inappropriate. If you are familiar with Visual Studio IDE for Microsoft Windows, Visual Studio Code is a totally different program.
It's happening. It's the reason that a lot of us came to work for Microsoft, and I think it's both the end of an era but also the beginning of amazing things to come. The.NET 2015 wave of releases is upon us. Here's what's happening and we announced it today in New York. There's a lot here, so drink it all in slowly.
Be sure to check out all the blog posts I'm linking to at the end, but here's my personal rollup and take on the situation. We are serious about open source and cross platform.NET Core 5 is the modern, componentized framework that ships via NuGet. That means you can ship a private version of the.NET Core Framework with your app. Other apps' versions can't change your app's behavior. We are building a.NET Core CLR for Windows, Mac and Linux and it will be both open source and it will be supported by Microsoft.
It'll all happen at. We are open sourcing the RyuJit and the.NET GC and making them both cross-platform. ASP.NET 5 will work everywhere. ASP.NET 5 will be available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Mac and Linux support will come soon and it's all going to happen in the open on GitHub at.
ASP.NET 5 will include a web server for Mac and Linux called kestrel built on libuv. It's similar to the one that comes with node, and you could front it with Nginx for production, for example.
Developers should have a great experience. There is a new FREE SKU for Visual Studio for open source developers and students called. It supports extensions and lots more all in one download. This is not Express.
This is basically Pro. and will support gulp, grunt, bower and npm for front end developers. A community team (including myself and Sayed from the ASP.NET and web tools team) have created the organization along with the Kulture build system as a way to bring real Intellisense to Sublime, Atom, Brackets, Vim, and Emacs on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Check out as well as blog posts by team members.
Even more open source. Much of the.NET Core Framework 4.6 and its Reference Source source is going on GitHub. It's being, so Mono (and you!) can use that source code in their.NET implementations. There's a new hub for Microsoft open source that is hosted GitHub at. Open sourcing.NET makes good sense. It makes good business sense, good community sense, and today everyone at Microsoft see this like we do.

Sponsor: Big thanks to Aspose for sponsoring the feed this week! Working with Files? Has all the APIs you need to create, manipulate and convert Microsoft Office documents and many other formats in your applications.
This is fantastic! I am more excited about the future of ASP.NET than I have been in years. I'm very impressed with the open processes and open source license of the web stack in addition to all the technology improvements. Been enjoying the vnext standup videos on youtube and playing with the previous ctps. Glad the vs2015 preview aka the 'beeta' is now available:-D The unification of mvc and web api is beautiful, and the ability to bin deploy the core framework means no more worry about what version is installed at the web hosting environment.
That alone is huge. Keep up the great work, this is going to be the most exciting release in the history of asp.net when the final bits ship next year! Thanks to you and all the teams doing this great work! I don't understand the bit about the web server for linux and mac? To run an asp.net mvc application on linux, we will need a web server. What will that be?
Will it be the equivalent of jetty for java? Is Microsoft's strategy to lose massive amounts of windows server and sql server revenue and base their revenue on a more sustainable approach such as selling visual studio and other developer tools? Why would anyone chose windows server? Will entity framework and mysql work on linux and perform as well as java / hibernate / mysql? I am a little skeptical at this stage.
I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but isn't this a case of the right hand giving and the left hand taking away? I am assuming Express just goes away or never gets a new release.is that correct?
I can imagine there are plenty of cases where people were happily using Express for free and now they will need to pay for MSDN/Pro because they don't fit the licensing terms for the new free offering of the Community Edition. For me personally as a solo business of one developer it is all good. But I do believe there is a downside for some people here. It would be really great if Microsoft would buy Xamarin and begin merging it ever more closely into Visual Studio. I think Xamarin looks really promising but for programmer hobbyists who want to get into cross-platform development using Visual Studio, the price of the Xamarin Business Subscription is prohibitive.
There have been some great moves this week from Microsoft. I think they've finally got it into their head that the only way they're going to attract developers is to make the development process pretty much free as is the case with Ellipse for Android, and Xcode for iOS.
Microsoft really needs to do something here to remove the cost barrier of doing cross-platform development in Visual Studio with Xamarin. I'm just not going to pay for a Xamarin subscription just to mess about with cross-platform development in Visual Studio, so my first reaction is to write the code in Xamarin Studio instead of Visual Studio, which is a big shame because I like Visual Studio a great deal and have spent years building up my skills there.
Microsoft, you are on the right track, now keep going and remove this barrier!!! A few months back I was thinking about making a move from.NET to Java (after working with.NET for 10 years). Simply because it's open source, has a great portable ecosystem, and a lot of great frameworks. Only thing holding me back (a little) was Java itself. It's way too verbose.
And while languages like Scala are truly great, the tooling is very poor (and there aren't much Scala jobs right now). In my country (the Netherlands) it's pretty much.NET or Java if you want a decent paying developer job. This really changes things for me.NET going open source and Visual Studio Community Edition is exactly what I need. It will drive.NET forward and hopefully create the same great open source ecosystem Java has. Visual Studio Community Edition for the Mac would completely seal the deal for me and make me forget about Java:P Sublime is nice (played around with it for Scala), but it can't compete with a full blown IDE. ASP.Net 5 here I come:-).
Great move Microsoft bravo!, Apparently Microsoft is heading towards right direction with Satya's leadership. When it comes to development that has been always pain for us to convince technology directors to use Microsoft technologies especially in some organizations and where I work, managers are religiously against Microsoft without considering requirements, performance and reliability. Their biggest argument was of denying use of.net was because it is not cross platform (of course there was mono but who really uses it?). Finally, everyday day more Java based open source libraries are ported to C# and remember biggest strength of Java is having loads of open source libraries and being a cross platform, considering the fact C# is more advance and developer friendly than java. Being cross platform will step down Java from popularity amongst open source folks. Mono has been filling the cross-platform space for.NET for some years, but without the resources of Microsoft.
As someone who plays in both the JVM and.NET arenas, I would love to see the JVM-level of robustness and scalability available on OSX and Linux. The mono team has done a great job, but their VM is lacking in terms of GC performance on large-memory footprints and various subtle threading issues (thread starvation, etc).
I would hope that Microsoft's generational GC would be included in a merge of the Mono and Microsoft implementation. Does Microsoft plan on releasing a PPA for platforms like Ubuntu and brew formulae on OSX? It would also be really nice if there was a new web site dedicated to getting up and running with the new technology once it's ready. Full documentation, simple tutorials and getting started pages.
Take the Symfony, Node, Laravel, and other FOSS project home pages as inspiration. Get some nice layout done by your in-house MS designers. Right now the current ASP.NET and any related.NET web sites aren't the greatest to navigate because they're more blog-style than authorotative docs (ideally under source control). This is really great news, and I can appreciate that this is a slow ship to turn.
Hopefully 2015 will see more people using the CLR and writing in.NET languages. But I think the key once you've done the technical work is to do the community and documentation work.
