Frequently Asked Questions

5 questions
Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a lightweight, fast, open-source code editor that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, while Visual Studio is a full-featured IDE primarily for Windows targeting large-scale enterprise and .NET/C++ development. VS Code relies on extensions from the Marketplace to add language support, debugging, and project management features, whereas Visual Studio ships with everything built-in out of the box. Many developers use both: VS Code for quick edits, scripting, and web/cross-platform work, and Visual Studio for heavy back-end or complex enterprise projects.
