Microsoft Announced Visual Studio 2019

At the mega event, Microsoft Connect 2018, Microsoft has unveiled Visual Studio 2019 Preview 1.

The company defines Visual Studio 2019 as, “Whether you’re new to coding or ready for your next project, Visual Studio 2019 streamlines your experience so you can get right down to focused work. You’ll find more screen space for your code and you can search for anything from one place. You can keep your code tidy with one-click code clean-up. When you’re debugging, you’ll notice better stepping performance and you’ll get search capabilities within the Autos, Locals, and Watch windows to quickly find that elusive object or value.”
