The Unity Pro & Visual Studio Professional Bundle gives you the tools you need to develop faster & collaborate more efficiently. Visual Studio Code for Mac is an integrated development environment (IDE) and the main focus with this version is it is clearly leaning towards being lightweight. Visual Studio Code launches in a matter of seconds, and the auto-complete function is fast. Visual Studio Code is available now for Mac. I know that in the past it was not. There is great documentation to get you started on a Mac. You can also sign up for Visual Studio Dev Essentials. However, if you already subscribe to a Microsoft product, i.e., Office 365 (I do), all you have to do is sign in with those credentials.

Studio Code For Second Graders
Right now, Microsoft’s BUILD conference is taking place, where the company outlines several different areas that it hopes to help developers.
One of those areas is a new application for Mac users, called Visual Studio Code. The company has just unveiled the new code editor for Mac, outlining that it will work cross-platform, but it runs natively on Mac for those that prefer Apple’s hardware.
Microsoft has proclaimed the new software as an “code optimized editor,” and it supports GIT, debugging and Intellisense. For developers that use GitHub, the new Studio Code also integrates into that service as well.

With the new Studio Code, developers will be able to develop apps for each of the platforms it supports, including Windows, OS X and Linux.
As revealed by the official Twitter account, the new Studio Code will be made available to download for those interested once the keynote winds down:
Free Visual Studio For Mac
It's awesome to see the reaction. Downloads and our web site will be live shortly after the keynote. Stay tuned…
