Microsoft's VS Code now in the "Cloud"

I'm really excited about the progress Microsoft has made especially with adding VS Code into the "cloud" for development. There are lots of reasons why I am happy about VS Code, but the top reason is the need for local space for my personal media and content (which means less space for installing tools and IDEs). Plus, the ability to work anywhere (with a browser), anytime, makes "work remotely" even a bigger benefit. Of course, this comes with the strong assumption that one can access the Internet and the network has high bandwidth and speed.

Microsoft's Visual Studio 2019 v16.5 - now available

Visual Studio 2019 v16 has some new cool stuff!
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/visual-studio-2019-version-16-5/

Why it's being released as "2019" in "2020", I have no idea and find it strange. I wonder if I should wait for a 2020 edition, lol?

Enjoy!

Microsoft's Road Map - Visual Studio

I think this is phenomenal that Microsoft is being so transparent with developers, customers, and even competitors on their roadmap. Amazing! This is a tech company driven on faith and relationship - not just their product or "secret sauce".

Yeah, I should have worked for Microsoft. #teamculture

This YouTube from Microsoft Developers on VSCode was very helpful and cool. The pace of the video is quick and so I had to pay attention. For convenience, I'm adding the "Useful Links" below the video clip.
