What is Visual Studio?

Question

I downloaded unity and they installed visual studio with it. Is it like something to create apps with like android studio?

Answer 1

That's right Farhan. VS is an IDE like Android Studio and Eclipse and many others which enables you to write, debug and publish your programs easily without involving you with low-level mechanisms.

Answer 16

Android studio is used specifically to create apps for your android devices. But VS is a multipurpose environment and many other IDE's (like Unity and UE4) plug their coding/scripting terminals to VS. In addition to that, you can absolutely make your stand alone apps for different platforms using VS.

Answer 17

Another non-programming example is 3D modeling for games. in this case you have a pipeline like this:

Build your model in Maya(E.G.) -> export it with .fbx format -> import it into your engine.

Answer 18

Exactly. In fact that's a new facility that has been added to VS since 2013 version.

Answer 19

Yes you can. But I as far as I know you can make stand-alone apps for Windows (either console, or GUI) x86 x64 and ARM

Answer 20

C C++ C# VB.net etc
