Introduction

In this chapter, we will learn about the most interesting new features of Visual Studio 2017.
We will use Visual Studio Code as a cross-platform editor for C# and some other languages.

We will install the OmniSharp library to have the benefits of intellisense and language support, just as VS does, on other IDEs on macOS and Linux.

We will also discover the new open source and cross-platform compiler named Roslyn, and will understand what its different APIs will bring to us.

Finally, we will discover some useful and relevant new C# 6 features.
