Please how do I get a visual studio on my mobile phone?

Answer 1

Microsoft Visual Studio is also Windows 'only' (and is > 2GB on my old VS2010).

But there is a new open-source Visual Studio Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/) now available as well, which already runs on Win/Linux/Mac.

I predict the FOSS community will have that running on Android/iOS before Visual Studio proper (which only MS can do since it is closed-source).

Answer 2

Microsoft Visual Studio runs on Intel architectures. The most likely mobile phones are ARM. If that doesn't frighten you away I'd be fascinated why not.

Answer 3

Here are some services that claim to run C# in the browser; I suspect what they're doing is using the "Microsoft Redistributable" libraries but I don't have anything to compare against.

https://repl.it/languages/csharp
https://www.codechef.com/ide
http://ideone.com

All of them can select some form of C#. If one of these is excellent for anyone I'd like to know so I can narrow the list.

Answer 4

If you need to you can start a free year with Amazon Web Services, explore installing a Windows Server image, then a trial (of C#) from Microsoft or etc.

Answer 5

Okay. thank you so much.

Answer 6

@Kirk,

Not sure if you meant it that way, but I am practically certain that all these websites don't compile the C# code in your browser, but rather on the server and just displays the results in your browser (including from running the code on the server) .

Or am I misunderstanding what you meant?
