A simple developer's journey

If you are a developer, there are many chance that you already used Visual Studio, the famous Microsoft's IDE. Visual Studio for MAC is borned a few weeks ago . But is it a productive tool like on PC ? If you are a Xamarin Developer and never tried it, I suggest you to take a look at this short review to get some clues !

As a good .NET developer, yesterday I installed the new Visual Studio 2015 IDE to discover all its new features... VS2015 installed ! I was previously developping mobile apps with Xamarin on VS2013. So as I am impatient I installed VS2015 without thinking of all the modifications it can bring to my environment... And bingo ! When I started back VS2013 to edit my Xamarin's projects, I had a bad surprise: iOS & Android projects no more compatible... But, fortunately, I find a really quick solution to restore Xamarin compatibility with VS2013. In fact in the windows programs / functionnalities menu, I  changed the Xamarin app components configuration like above: Xamarin, change installation Xamarin for Visual Studio 2013 is disabled ! Re-enable it and it s all good :) And go you can continue to develop Xamarin projects with VS2013 !

One important announcement at the Build conference is the release of a new IDE. It is called Visual Studio Code and it is a cross platform editor. It runs on Mac Linux and... Windows ;). It has Intellisense, supports multiple languages, has debugging and git built-in. Visit https://code.visualstudio.com/ to get more information & download.
