Over the past few years I've been learning Visual Basic in order to design small, purpose built applications for different tasks. I found it really helpful because it was the right balance between strength and simplicity. Flash forward to present day and I have converted over to a new MacBook and love it. I have everything I want with the exception of Visual Basic. Being a Microsoft product, there of course is no OSX version. I was curious if their was a simple, GUI based BASIC language for OSX. I'm cool with starting from scratch, I've done it a bunch of times with java, python, etc., I just want an easy to use language that will let me bang out a simple application in a manner of minutes.
Does Visual Studio For Mac Work
- VS for Mac Product Manager Rajen Kishna replied: 'Our goal with Visual Studio for Mac is to create a native IDE for Mac users with workloads that make sense on macOS. That means 'desktop app' development will target macOS and Visual Studio (on Windows) can be used to target Windows.
- There is no Visual Basic in the Mac product. Microsoft chose not to implement it. If you absolutely have to use it, you need to create a Bootcamp partition and install Windows, or use Parallels to create a virtual machine running Windows.
I'm ready to bet Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio for Mac will never connect to TFVC. Edit: I lost my bet for Visual Studio Code, it can connect to TFVC using the Visual Studio Team Services extension since version 1.116.0 (2017/04/12).
