At this morning’s Connect(); 2016 keynote, Nat Friedman and James Montemagno introduced Visual Studio for Mac, the newest member of the Visual Studio family.Visual Studio for Mac is a developer environment optimized for building mobile and cloud apps with Xamarin and.NET.It is a one-stop shop for.NET development on the Mac, including Android, iOS, and.NET Core technologies. 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). Visual Studio for Mac is a powerful developer tool that reinforces Microsoft’s “mobile-first”, “cloud-first”, and “any developer, any platform, any device” strategy. With the author's guided expertise and extensive code samples, you will understand how to leverage the most useful tools in Visual Studio for Mac, the code editor.

in Visual Studio for Mac Fixed - Pending ReleaseI installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 on my Mac recently, hoping to use it to program in C++. It appeared to install correctly, no errors occurred, but it seems to be missing support for C++. It will only allow me to make projects using C# and F#; I don't see C++ anywhere.
Searching around, many people suggest opening up the Visual Studio Installer and add 'C++ Tools' to VS. However, when I open up the visual studio installer, I only see the necessary packages to develop in Android, IOS, .NET, MacOS, and Xamarin.
Where is C++? Do I need to configure visual studio some other way to be able to use it for C++?

Talks about coding in C++ on Mac and how to install, configure, use, debug with etc. Haven't tried it personally.
SpankySpankyAs @Saad stated, there is no support for C++ on Visual Studio 2017 for macOS.
If you want to program in C++ in macOS, you can go with Xcode.
