Microsoft Officially Releases Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.6

Posted by samzenpus on from the check-it-out dept.

rjmarvin writes: Microsoft has announced RTM of Visual Studio 2015, the latest version of its flagship IDE, along with the release of .NET 4.6. The release includes a new set of DevOps services featuring the Build vNext cross-platform build service, the IntelliTest automated unit testing tool, and a Dev/Test service delivered both via the cloud in Visual Studio Online and on-premises through Team Foundation Server. Soma Somasegar, corporate vice president of the developer division at Microsoft, highlighted three main themes Microsoft focused on with VS 2015 in an interview with SD Times: developer productivity, "a holistic set of DevOps services" and giving developers choices when it comes to tooling toward the goal of building Universal Windows Apps for Windows 10. VS 2015 and .NET 4.6 are available here.

    The good news is you can totally continue coding your l33t scripts in Notepad, just like before, and leave the professional tools to the grownups.

  3. Android, clang, and Linux support by Billly+Gates · · Score: 4, Informative

    I am surprised no one has mentioned clang or Android support. If you install mobile it will even install Chrome. No you did not misread that folks

    Well...
    with you on the phone
    the tablet is successful and well reviewed (I'm typing from one now and love it).
    xbone makes money but I agree it hasn't been as successful as 360
    they reduced prices on visual studio.

  5. Python Tools for Visual Studio by shutdown+-p+now · · Score: 4, Informative

    While we're at it, Python Tools for Visual Studio 2.2 has also been released at the same time. In addition to VS 2015 support, this is mainly a bugfix and do-small-features-that-never-make-the-bar release. If you're a Python developer on Windows, please give it a try, especially if you've never heard about it before. Feel free to tell me that we suck so long as you also file a bug in the tracker. ~
