Visual Studio Code vs Visual Studio

[@TheMetaldudeX]

As a newbie, searching for the difference between Visual studio and visual studio has been a pain lol

[@fxrdhan_65]

nah true

[@DeZiio]

Just getting into both and I already feel more comfortable with VS Code's simplicity. Good video 👍

[@thomasmccleary2075]

This was a really thought out video. I just got into creating video games for mobile, and I was confused on what IDE or code editor to use. Thank you so much for clarifying!!!!!

[@GottaBeGeek]

I’m glad it helped you out!

[@Mikael_Puusaari]

Nice video :) Visual Studio having so many possible windows that u never really use feels a bit unecessary, but when time goes along u realize that u might need most of them, that is if u explored them and knew what they do.. of course they will just be there, not doing anything til the end of time if u don´t know when or why to use them For both VS Code and Visual Studio I think the choice is more about what u are used to, there is less cognitive stress caused when working with something where u know where everything is and intuitively know what to do to get the job done For any1 used to working with bashy environments and straight up folder structures, VS Code would probably feel more like home, and of course since "always living the bash dream" is kind of associated with cross platforming

In 2021, VSCode has been a really good option. It has many of the features of an IDE, but still maintains the speed. So for me, VSCode is the choice.

[@DelicueMusic]

I know I'm 4 years late, but i think this is still helpful even today. I agree with you take very much. My only thing about VS Code is the clutter that builds up on the nav when installing extensions. I know that I can hide them, but I feel like there is something better that can be done about it. I'm not sure though.

your monitor setup is sick nasty!

[@GottaBeGeek]

Haha! Thanks!

[@xornedge8204]

Is Visual Studio better for game development though? Since it might require a more complex compatibility with the languages?

[@GottaBeGeek]

I've never done Game development personally. That said, I know VS Code supports Unity debugging/development, but I would generally agree it's likely you'll find better integration for game development in Visual Studio opposed to VS Code.

[@xornedge8204]

@@GottaBeGeek Thank you

[@johndoe-cd9vt]

It's not even a question, if you want to do game development use visual studio

[@Rajonty]

jack tom what about IntelliJ IDEA?

[@MickTheRus]

@@Rajonty that's java

[@gregwoolley]

Thanks. It would have been good to hear more about the differences in debugging capability between the two. You barely scratched the surface.

[@Brymarlina]

Awesome video!!

[@zeeshanqaswar3573]

For me I used VS Code for unity and it gave me hell. Support broke time to time and was frustrating So I switched to Visual Studio even I liked Vs Code.

[@chiragsharma5387]

Visual Studio is definitely a better choice if you wanna work with game engines, be it unity or unreal

[@steveavecillas1114]

Programming to be productive and visual studio is great and you finish your project faster time

[@Inf4mousKidGames]

I use code with unity but I think it's because I was able to configure it to work how I needed it to. You need a few extensions to make vs code work properly with unity but for the most part I'm betting you had trouble because of unity's vs code package manager extension (the default one that comes installed with unity breaks support with the editor. Best fix is to update the extension)

[@infinity__7948]

@@chiragsharma5387 brother if i have to chose between vs code and visual studio for project development which one will be more useful

[@purpasmart_4831]

I have recently switched to Linux as my Only OS, so I have been getting used to VS code after using Visual Studio for almost a Decade, I like how it is much lighter and responsive compared to the former, But I do miss some of the features.

[@tailormaciel8829]

Awesome thanks!!

[@technosapien330]

Couldnt you just use Bootcamp to install visual studio on your mac?

[@GottaBeGeek]

You could, but I was aiming towards comparing them without having to use any special software. I wouldn’t rely on Bootcamp anymore though. Apparently Apple has announced that the silicon based devices will no longer support Bootcamp. Also, I never mentioned this in the video but you can install Visual Studio on a Mac, it’s just not capable of doing as much as the Windows version can (It basically only supports the cross platform languages) That said, more of that may change when the silicon devices release.

[@nahomd9797]

Great Video .................To the point !! Geek

[@MrPhilipson00]

interesting feedback Geek! Yes, I'd watch you ruminate for 2hrs on this. M2C: seems no matter what environment I pick, there's a ton of time spent customizing things. Somehow VSCode seems more approachable, though I've spent dozens of hours customizing stuff - it seems more 'hackable'. VS-Studio seems sort of 'out-of-the-box', and I do not see all the files and profiles in the same way VSCode presents them. Curious - from a data-scientist pov - which may be better. Can I run the whole fine by default in the REPL interpreter..etc. many questions. Got to do my own research? What'd I pay you for !:? :)

[@randough]

What about c#

[@Duge6124]

Do you even need to consider Visual Studio if you have a JetBrains licence?

You mean the desktop backgrounds?

Appreciate, the sub. I’m hoping to get back into publishing more videos here in the next couple weeks. My 6 month old son has definitely drained a lot of my free time. Haha. The desktop images were on google images. I just searched around for Marvel 4K desktop backgrounds and came across them.

Do you mean tips on getting started making videos?

[@Inf4mousKidGames]

Not sure if someone corrected you on this my friend but visual studio for Mac is a thing 🙂

[@GottaBeGeek]

You’re correct, and I’ve known this, and while I maybe should’ve been clear on this, you can only do development of things that work cross platform which limits a decent amount of what you can do with Visual Studio for Mac. I specified the kinds of things specific to the Windows side of Visual Studio as examples though, so I kind of hinted to that affect in an implicit way.

[@tecknows]

I'm 30 seconds in, and I already know why you have an IDE and Editor. I do the same thing. Sometimes, it is just necessary.

[@KevinMatseke]

I also go for visual studio code.

[@randispoling]

I’m looking to mess around with Java and python. Thoughts on which one would be best for someone that’s fairly new?

[@GottaBeGeek]

I’m probably a little biased because I started on Python, but I’d say Python. It’s incredibly popular. It has a variety of uses, a huge community, and great resources.
