Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE comes to the Mac

For years now, Visual Studio has been a Windows exclusive application but beginning later this month, Microsoft will be bringing their popular IDE to Apple's MacOS. At launch, the new Visual Studio IDE on Mac will not support everything that the Windows version supports but this first release will include support for languages like .NET, C# and F#. It will also include support for Android and iOS development through Xamarin.

The Mac version of Visual Studio is built through an open source MonoDevelop IDE platform. While the classic Visual Studio design from Windows will not be inherrited from this first iteration of Visual Studio for the Mac, features like IntelliSense code completion and powerful debugging are included,

Before You Choose That Macbook

Like me, when most  of the younger generation decide to choose which laptop to get either for work or school, they want what's trendy and stylish.

How about what works?

The Apple Macbooks aren't exactly toys, they could do just about anything that the windows laptops can, only faster - plus getting a Mac means parting with a lot of your(or your folk's) hard earned cash so why not get it right the first time?!

For starter's, there's no such thing as the average Macbook, it's price ranges from N200k to N600k and storage space ranges from 64GB to 1TB SSD. Used macbooks however, are usually priced at 60%-70% of the value of a new one.

In the coming weeks, i would be discussing a lot about variety of options(New and Used), where to get the cheapest prices and how to spot a badly used/faulty Macbook.

I would try as much as possible not to say too much at once.

I hope to answer all of your questions about Macbooks in the comment section below. So head on and ask me anything.
