Visual Studio Code, a powerful multi-language programming text editor for Windows, MacOS, and Linux based OS, with extension support (has already over 60 extensions for it), is now open source. This goes hand in hand, with Microsoft making a large part of the .NET library (a powerful, well done, library for developers to use) open source.

The last version of Visual Studio got an update, featuring the ability to develop and debug Linux based programs running on a server or IoT devices, thank to the addition remote debugging using GDB of Linux software.

In smaller news, Xamarin 4 will be supported in Visual Studio 2015 once you install 'Update 1' update of the software (will be released Nov 30th). Xamarin, by Xamarin, is a technology used to develop an app in 1 language (C#), and can be exported as a Windows 10 Mobile app, Android, and iOS, making developers life easier, to have 1 code base.

Will try this out when released.

Don't have time to look this over but I imagine this will really help things like wine. 

 

 

Edit

oh

whoops

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

Is that the thing that Linux users do all the time when talking about Windows?

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Visual Studio Code pretty much a fork of Atom? If that's the case then they are open sourcing their fork of an open source editor.

Not bad, but not that exciting either.

It's based on the Electron framework, but uses the Visual Studio Online editor for the actual functionality. So no, it's not a fork of Atom.
