Was released just under two months ago at Build 2017, and already we’ve seen tremendous growth in.NET developers working on the Mac. Visual Studio for Mac enables you to build native apps for macOS, native mobile apps for iOS, tvOS, watchOS, and Android, using Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms; and web sites and services using ASP.NET Core.

Add Your Gmail Account to Outlook 2011 Mac Using IMAP. To set up your Outlook client to work with Gmail: Enable IMAP in Gmail; Sign in to Gmail. Click the gear icon in the upper-right and select Gmail settings at the top of any Gmail page. Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP; Select Enable IMAP. Configure your IMAP client and click Save Changes.

Click the Settings button in the upper, right corner of the window and select Settings from the drop-down menu. On the Settings screen, click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.

It looks like each time you make a change to the application url in Visual Studio it is writing to [project directory].vs config applicationhost.config. It adds a new 'application' node under your 'site' node. In my case it was /users and then /web, as per your recommendation.

You can also use Unity to build cross-platform 3D games. To help new Visual Studio for Mac developers get started, we’ve created some hands-on labs to walk through some of its exciting new features. The first two labs are available today, for Unity game development and connecting to Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and we’re planning to release 4 more in the coming weeks. Lab 1: Building Games with Unity in Visual Studio for Mac The first hands-on lab demonstrates how to build and debug Unity game projects. It guides you through 4 tasks: • Setting up a basic Unity project • Working with a 3D game scene • Debugging the game script • Exploring additional features that support game development. Follow to download and install Unity, then use it with Visual Studio for Mac to script and debug a 3D game scene. Lab 2: Targeting IoT Devices in Visual Studio for Mac Our second lab shows you how to create apps that run on an IoT device – such as the popular Raspberry Pi – from Visual Studio for Mac.

It guides you through 3 tasks: • Setting up your Raspberry Pi • Creating the IoT project • Extending your IoT app with Xamarin components to add additional features. This functionality is currently in preview, but we’ll make sure to update the lab if any changes will be necessary when we ship it in a stable release. Follow to write your first IoT code, then visit our for more ideas. Get Started Download today, and visit our to give game development a try or connect to an IoT device. With the Community Edition it is easy and free to get started. Keep an eye on this blog for more labs that demonstrate all the other great features of Visual Studio for Mac.

Craig Dunn, Principal Program Manager Craig works on the Mobile Developer Tools documentation team, where he enjoys writing cross-platform code for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows platforms with Visual Studio and Xamarin. What kind of people will use Linux? Linux was supposedly built for developers and servers. I am a developer and, while I use Linux out of curiosity, I wouldn’t use it on every day things (neither for fun nor for work).

Even if you paid me to And I love Windows (despite some bad experiences one could have in some occasions). On top of that, Windows, which was not built for servers nor for developers only, directly competes on the server arena (even more today with nano server). Even on the server management area, where I happen to hate the PowerShell language and its syntax, you cannot refuse that PowerShell is way better than Bash. On the original question now, I think MS created a VS for Mac just to attract the poor Mac developers who had to put up with Apple technologies and policies for so long and never got an alternative. But still developing a whole IDE for them is too much of a work. Plus to boost the open source community of.NET and their app store as others might have mentioned.

Let’s hope things turn out good for MS plans. There’s many reasons to provide a native IDE for Mac developers, ranging from performance to native project types (like building apps for macOS) to familiar user-interface and the localization and accessibility features. A native app does all those things better than hosting a Windows VM. Visual Studio for Mac’s goal is bring a native macOS-feeling feeling while providing the power of Visual Studio for cross-platform development: ASP.NET core for websites and web services, as well as iOS, Android, and macOS mobile and desktop projects, and Unity 3D games. All those project types can be easily shared between developers on Windows and macOS as the solution and project files are the same. Our goal is for developers to be productive with our tools no matter what platform they prefer to work on.
