Casey wrote a blog post about his take on Visual Studio Code, which you should read. I'm not a developer, but my pal Casey Liss is-he's a noted Apple podcaster who also happens to be a C# developer. It's not the first time Microsoft has made developer tools capable of running the Mac, but it's still a surprising development. First is the release of the new Visual Studio Code editor on Mac (and Linux and, of course, Windows). I'm not sure I've ever seen better examples of how Satya Nadella and Steve Ballmer are different than two announcements made this week. Some of Microsoft's most interesting announcements, though, weren't about its own platform-they were about Apple's and Google's. It was a big week for Microsoft, thanks to all the announcements at the BUILD conference.
