What is Microsoft Visual Studio?

Developers looking to make applications for cloud-based services, web applications, and desktop and mobile platforms can turn to Microsoft Visual Studio. This integrated development environment (IDE) was originally created to develop Microsoft Windows programs, as well as web services, websites, and web applications. Today, it does more than that and provides larger teams with application control, version control, and agile planning. Coders can also work on codes for free whether the platform is Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux, thanks to the version of Visual Studio for coders.
