Working with Docker. Docker is a very popular container platform that lets you easily package, deploy, and consume applications and services. Whether you are a seasoned Docker developer or just getting started, Visual Studio Code makes it easy to author Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml files in your workspace. Visual Studio Code even supports generating and adding the appropriate Docker files.

Microsoft plans to launch its integrated developer environment for the Mac later this week, turning its cloud-first development program into a cross-platform experience that developers can use on both Mac and Windows. Although the official, spotted the news and noted that the launch of Visual Studio on the Mac is expected to happen during the Connect() conference this week. Visual Studio for Mac will allow developers to create Windows apps on Apple's macOS platform, with the use of cloud platforms like Microsoft's Azure and Amazon Web Services to keep work stored across devices. Microsoft called Visual Studio for Mac a 'counterpart' to its Windows version, and said that any Windows user 'should feel right at home.' At its heart, Visual Studio for Mac is a macOS counterpart of the Windows version of Visual Studio. If you enjoy the Visual Studio development experience, but need or want to use macOS, you should feel right at home.

Its UX is inspired by Visual Studio, yet designed to look and feel like a native citizen of macOS. And like Visual Studio for Windows, it’s complemented by Visual Studio Code for times when you don’t need a full IDE, but want a lightweight yet rich standalone source editor. Visual Studio on the Mac is said to run Microsoft's.NET software framework and include the programming language of C#. The is set to run later this week, from November 16-18, so an official announcement from Microsoft about Visual Studio on the Mac is likely to happen sometime during the event. 'Visual Studio for Mac will allow developers to create Windows apps on Apple's macOS platform' I'm not sure why I'd want to do that. I might be interested in using.NET to build Mac apps, but if I need to build Windows apps, I'd probably just get a Windows machine (just like I'd get a Mac to build Mac or iOS apps). 'any Windows user 'should feel right at home.'

' Seems like they should have been aiming to make Mac users feel 'right at home', since Windows users would presumably just use the Windows version of Visual Studio. [doublepost=][/doublepost] It is not a coding platform, it is a development environment. What do you see as the distinction? Every 'development environment' I've ever used has fundamentally been a coding platform. Microsoft doesn't have a good history of buying and rebranding existing products to target Mac users. Here's the biggest example: Skype for Business, which replaced Microsoft Lync. It was recently released and it's such buggy and incomplete product it couldn't even qualify to be called a beta release.

How are those two even related? Skype for Business was not a product they bought and re-branded. They built a brand new client from scratch to replace Lync 2011 which hadn't received any updates other than bug fixes for years.

Movie editing for mac. Skype for Business doesn't really have anything to do with Skype other than branding. It's still a private IM network for businesses based on the same SIP based Lync protocol that they've used from the beginning. On Windows they didn't even bother to write a new client, they just re-branded the existing one and you can even switch the UI back to Lync with a Windows registry key. The new SFB Mac client isn't great, but I'm glad they put effort into re-writing the whole thing.
