Visual Studio Code for Mac 1.54.1

Visual Studio Code for Mac is a powerful and versatile code editor that provides developers with a streamlined experience for their core code-edit-debug cycle. It combines the simplicity of a code editor with the best features that developers need to work efficiently. Visual Studio Code is the first cross-platform development tool in the Visual Studio family, supporting OSX, Linux, and Windows.

At its core, Visual Studio Code features a fast and powerful code editor that is perfect for day-to-day use. The Preview release of Code already has many of the features developers need in a code and text editor, including navigation, keyboard support with customizable bindings, syntax highlighting, bracket matching, auto indentation, and snippets. It supports dozens of languages making it an ideal choice for any developer.

For serious coding tasks where developers need to work with more than just text-based files or documents; Visual Studio Code includes built-in support for always-on IntelliSense code completion which provides richer semantic understanding of your source code as well as navigation tools to help you move around your project quickly.

In addition to this rich set of editing tools; Visual Studio Code also includes great tooling for web technologies such as HTML5/CSS3/LESS/SASS/JSON etc., package managers like NPM/Yarn/Bower etc., repositories like Git/SVN/Mercurial etc., builds using Gulp/Grunt/Webpack/Rollup etc., debugging using Node.js debugger (in Preview) or Chrome DevTools Protocol (coming soon), testing using Mocha/Jasmine/Karma/QUnit/etc., profiling using V8 profiler (in Preview) or Chrome DevTools Profiler (coming soon), deployment using Azure App Service/GitHub Pages/etc.; all integrated seamlessly into one unified workflow.

Visual Studio Code understands Git workflows and source diffs integrated within its editor making it easy to manage version control from within your development environment. This makes it easier than ever before to collaborate on projects with other team members regardless of their location or platform preference.

Debugging is one feature that sets Visual Studio apart from other IDEs; it's also one feature that most developers want in a leaner coding experience. With streamlined debugging capabilities built right into the application itself; you can easily debug your applications without having to switch between different windows or applications.

Architecturally speaking; Visual Studio Code combines web technologies such as JavaScript and Node.js with native apps' speed and flexibility through GitHub Electron Shell technology. It uses an industrial-strength HTML-based editor similar to what powers "Monaco" cloud editor used by Internet Explorer's F12 Tools among others while leveraging Roslyn. NET compiler service architecture used by Microsoft's flagship IDE -Visual studio- along with TypeScript language service engine powering AngularJS 2+ framework among others.

In future previews releases we will continue refining this architecture while adding public extensibility model allowing third-party plugins integration enabling users customize their edit-build-debug experience even further.
