Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Professional

With Visual Studio, Microsoft specifically addresses software developers and smaller teams. Besides the creation of complex 32 or 64 bit programs, this integrated developer environment is also suitable for small helpful tools. This enables companies to develop their own applications and apps, for example to support customer loyalty or a cloud application.

The fact that Visual Studio offers stable and efficient support in program development is demonstrated by its long-term availability. This product has been available to software developers since 1997 and with each version new functions and extensions were added. Visual Studio 2019 Professional also supports developers with numerous new features. The developer platform is available for Windows and MacOS.

We will show you below which requirements are necessary and what benefits your company can gain by using the developer environment.

Code development for App and Web

In the current version, one of the focal points is the development of Windows apps and mobile applications for

• iOS
• Android
• Windows Phone

Windows apps were first introduced with Windows 8 and are used for optimization via touch screen.
Visual Studio 2019 Professional supports the following programming languages1

• C++
• C# and F#
• Visual Basic
• JavaScript, HTML and CSS for web development

By providing the tools for web development, complex web services and dynamic websites can be created, such as an online shop or programs for connecting a home office. With the support of high-level languages, game development with Visual Studio is also possible.

The editors of Visual Studio

For each programming language, the platform provides a separate code editor. Interesting is the cursor-based help. If a code statement is ambiguous or incorrectly written, this is displayed as an error. By providing the editors, applications can be created in parallel.

Anyone writing a program code will want to test it during development. Here Visual Studio offers numerous tools for debugging and errors are displayed directly. Also the development on a project by a team is strongly supported.

Code analysis

With extensive development projects, there is always an error that creeps in. With the code analysis integrated in Visual Studio, the developer platform offers the following options:

• C and C++ Code complexity analysis and measurement
• Managed code analysis tools for the C# and Visual Basic programming languages

Extensions for Azure and SQL databases

Visual Studio 2019 makes it easy to create cloud-enabled apps for Azure from one toolset. The Cloud Explorer shows the programming team all available Azure resources of the logged in accounts.

The Server Explorer lists all available database objects in a logged on network. The listed databases can be edited and queries via an SQL script are also possible.

Assistance and support

A large community has developed around program development with Visual Studio, which is strongly supported by Microsoft. Extensive books and dossiers are available for your own further training, where no question remains unanswered. At irregular intervals, Microsoft organizes free webinars and workshops.

Conclusion

Supporting software developers has a long tradition at Microsoft. Visual Studio 2019 Professional reflects this in a first-class manner. With the continuous development, programmers get one of the most powerful platforms. With Visual Studio, trend-setting programs are developed and published. Be it for a smartphone, a company network or a game application.

Visual Studio 2019 is suitable for every code developer.
