Microsoft pushes out Visual Studio 2013 Preview

Developers, developers, developers! No Microsoft did not forget you today during the kickoff of Build. Windows 8.1 may have been the headline, but those behind the real development were not left out from the proceedings. Microsoft today rolls out the 2013 edition of Visual Studio in Preview mode.

The IDE software is used by developers on a daily basis to create console and graphical user interface applications. The software debuted back in 1997 and has progressed ever since.

"Users are demanding a new breed of applications. They expect applications to provide the best experience across multiple screens and devices, and always connected to the services and data they need. Visual Studio 2013 Preview provides powerful tools and services to create these new applications and modernizing existing applications, by embracing the new needs of consumers, customers and internal users" the software giant announces.

Microsoft promises that Visual Studio 2013 Preview will help organizations be more agile and deliver better quality software in faster cycles. The tool provides "a comprehensive solution that works both on-premises and in the cloud, that adapts to your processes and removes the barriers between business stakeholders, development teams, testing and operations. In conjunction with MSDN and Microsoft cloud services, it enables you to develop, test and deploy faster than ever before".
