At Parallels, we love sharing our customers’ success stories! Recently, Tim Goldstein, a leading business intelligence analyst, database architect, and senior developer specializing in the Microsoft SQL server tool set, implemented a more agile development process with Parallels Desktop for Mac. Goldstein’s new process has been a great success and proven Parallels Desktop to be a developer’s “Swiss Army Knife” of productivity! Below are a few quotes from Goldstein himself regarding how Parallels Desktop has helped him stay ahead of the competitive landscape in his personal business:
“Parallels allows me to run a full development environment on Windows, including SQL Server, Analysis Services Server, Visual Studio, and SQL Management console simultaneously with El Capitan. I am running this on an 11-inch MacBook Air with 8 GB of RAM and a two-core i7 processor.”
Not only is the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio a crucial weapon in a developer’s tool kit but Goldstein leverages success by additionally using Microsoft Visual Studio, CorelDRAW, and Notepad++.
Above: “Windows 10 running Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Management Studio (SSMS), SQL Data Tools (a.k.a. Visual Studio) with an SSIS package, and working on an infographic for my speaking/training topic of “Engaging Technical Workers, Getting Business and Technical Staff Communicating” in CorelDRAW.”
Goldstein has additionally leveraged Parallels Desktop to save money for his business. He’s achieved this by not having to own multiple computers to complete his work as a senior developer. Thanks to his love of technology and the people who have helped him have such a great IT career, Goldstein, a Certified High Performance Coach, is simultaneously speaking, training, and mentoring executives on how to understand the mind of the technical worker. He can help you reach your next level just like Parallels Desktop has helped him reach his! In his own words:
“For my personal business in training executives to understand their technical workforce and training geeks to better handle the soft side of interviews, I work entirely on a Mac. Parallels has been a wonderful solution and a much easier company culture to deal with than competitors.”

Download Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0Launching from the command line
You can also run VS Code from the terminal by typing 'code' after adding it to the path:
Note: If you still have the old
code alias in your .bash_profile (or equivalent) from an early VS Code version, remove it and replace it by executing the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command.
How To Download Microsoft Visual Studio On Mac Desktop

Start a new terminal to pick up your
.bash_profile changes.

Out of the box VS Code adds actions to navigate in editor history as well as the full Debug tool bar to control the debugger on your Touch Bar:
Mojave privacy protections
After upgrading to macOS Mojave version, you may see dialogs saying 'Visual Studio Code would like to access your {calendar/contacts/photos}.' This is due to the new privacy protections in Mojave and is not specific to VS Code. The same dialogs may be displayed when running other applications as well. The dialog is shown once for each type of personal data and it is fine to choose Don't Allow since VS Code does not need access to those folders. You can read a more detailed explanation in this blog post.
Updates
VS Code ships monthly releases and supports auto-update when a new release is available. If you're prompted by VS Code, accept the newest update and it will get installed (you won't need to do anything else to get the latest bits).
Microsoft Visual Studio For Mac
Note: You can disable auto-update if you prefer to update VS Code on your own schedule.
Preferences menu
You can configure VS Code through settings, color themes, and custom keybindings and you will often see mention of the File > Preferences menu group. On a macOS, the Preferences menu group is under Code, not File.
