Visual Studio是微软^(Microsoft)自己的IDE，最初代号为Project Boston，于 1997 年发布。这一次，微软^(Microsoft)将他们所有的开发工具捆绑在一起，并以单一产品的形式购买。该软件的初始版本有 2 个版本。第一个是Visual Studio Professional，另一个是更强大的Visual Studio Enterprise。专业版附赠3张CD，高级企业^(Enterprise)版附赠3张CD。现在，让我们谈谈Visual Studio 2017。

微软视觉工作室

目前，名为Visual Studio 2017的 Visual ^{(Visual Studio 2017)}Studio版本 11 是^(Studio)Microsoft开发人员工具团队的最新稳定版本。它有 3 个主要版本，即

1. 免费社区版，
2. 专业版，和
3. 企业版。

社区版是^{(Community edition is the free version)}软件包的免费版本，功能最少。但无论如何，它可以让您作为新手或学生开发人员完成工作。第二个是专业版，它比^{(Professional Edition)}社区^(Community)版稍微强大一些，然后是完整的企业包，其中包含 Visual ^(Enterprise)Studio的所有强大工具。

截至目前，Visual Studio 是一个代码编辑器^{(Code Editor)}、调试器^(Debugger)和设计器^(Designer)。这意味着您可以在这里为后端或控制台编辑或编写简单的代码，您可以检查您编写的代码是否正常运行，如果您的代码需要改进，可以提供帮助。此外，它还是一个设计器，因为您现在可以在Visual Studio中设计^{(Visual Studio)}用户^(User) 界面^(Interfaces)和用户体验^{(User Experiences)}，例如在使用Blend或XAML为^(XAML)UWP或Xamarin开发应用程序时。

本文中的所有信息都与Microsoft^(Microsoft)放置的脚注有关。下面列出了这些：

• • 企业组织被定义为 > 250 台 PC 或 > 100万美元^{(Million US Dollars)}的年收入。
  • Windows 桌面^{(Windows Desktop)}、通用 Windows 应用程序^{(Universal Windows Apps)}、Web ( ASP.NET )、Office 365、业务应用程序^{(Business Applications)}、Apache Cordova、Azure Stack、C++ Cross-Platform Library Development、Python、Node.js、.NET Core、Docker 工具^{(Docker Tools)}
  • 可以以只读模式打开在其他 Visual Studio版本中生成的图表。
  • 包括层交互分析^{(Tier Interaction Profiling)}。

现在，让我们比较一下 Visual Studio的版本。

Microsoft Visual Studio - Editions, Comparison, Features, FAQ

Visual Studio is Microsoft’s own IDE that was initially code-named Project Boston and was released in 1997. This time, Microsoft bundled together all their development tools and bought them with a single product. The initial version of the software came in 2 editions. This first one was Visual Studio Professional and the other one was more powerful Visual Studio Enterprise. The professional version was bundled together with 3 CDs, and the superior Enterprise version was bundled together with 3 CDs. Now, let’s talk about Visual Studio 2017.

Microsoft Visual Studio

Currently, version 11 of Visual Studio named as Visual Studio 2017 is the latest stable release from the developer tools team at Microsoft. It is available in 3 main editions namely

1. Free Community version,
2. Professional version, and
3. Enterprise edition.

The Community edition is the free version of the software bundle and is least featured. But anyway, it gets your work done as a novice or a student developer. The second one is the Professional Edition that is slightly more powerful than the Community edition and then comes the complete Enterprise package with all the powerful tools for Visual Studio.

As of now, Visual Studio is a Code Editor, Debugger, and a Designer. This means that you can edit or write simple code for backend or consoles here, you can check if the code written by you is functional and can help if your code needs improvements. Also, it is a designer as you can now designer User Interfaces and User Experiences within Visual Studio like while developing apps for UWP or in Xamarin using Blend or XAML.

All the information in this article concerns the footnotes laid by Microsoft. These are listed below:

• • Enterprise organizations are defined as >250 PCs or > $1 Million US Dollars in annual revenue.
