Visual Studio Community has the same features as the commercial professional edition, enabling you to create all types of projects, whether they're free or for-profit. Obviously, you can test by connecting physical devices, too, which can be set up with the installation wizard to integrate the SDK you need. In fact, the latest versions of Visual Studio even include an emulator for the Google operating system so you can test your projects on virtual devices. Since it's multiplatform, you can use it to create both web projects and applications for smartphones or tablets on iOS, Windows Phone, or Android systems. As for the environment itself, it includes all kinds of code detection tools, automatic indentation and autocomplete, as well as debugging options. It also has several development support tools for the ASP.NET framework and Node.js. With it, you can work in C++, Python, HTML5, and JavaScript, or even standardized languages for Microsoft like C Sharp, Visual Basic, and F#. It supports a large number of programming languages and output platforms, whether for desktop programs, web applications, cloud-based services, or smartphone apps. Visual Studio is the official integrated development environment from Microsoft, a general purpose IDE that lets you implement, test, and compile all your applications and web projects.
