Microsoft Visual Studio Primary Use Case

Paco Velasco Reina - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at Open HealthCare

My first use case was to develop Microsoft Windows tools in .Net Framework (formerly from 3.5). Later I developed web platforms in ASP .NET and lately, I have developed APIs in both .NET Framework and NET Core, the latest in NET 6.

The platforms that I develop in Windows environments and do not have CI/CD systems I deploy them directly from Visual Studio. The entire Windows ecosystem is well managed by Visual Studio.

When I program in Microsoft Windows I usually use Visual Studio.

The platform's use cases depend on the entire system diagram. For instance, if we have login software, it determines the users' access level. It helps admin users in uploading and managing user accounts. Other users can register, validate passwords, save, download, and upload tasks.

SC
DC Project Delivery Senior Analyst at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

I have used Visual Studio in my school to develop small applications for college assignments. It's basically for software development.

I use all healthcare tools. I work with digital care, so I work on integration engines, which are basic. I handle the interface engines. Integration engines are what I'm mostly working on. For example, I'm working a lot with Rhapsody and Mirth.

Visual Studio is used by software developers who develop applications. I am just a consultant. I was just trying to manage my skills and have just used it recently.

Deni Herdian - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at Herdian Informatika

The early use of Microsoft Visual Studio was for developing and creating software applications. Then, with technology development, I used Microsoft Visual Studio to create cross-platform software applications such as web, mobile, and desktop applications. 

Microsoft Visual Studio also provides debugging tools, project management tools, and source control which makes project management easier for me - especially after I combine it with Git

Microsoft Visual Studio allows me to create and manage projects, write code, and debug and test applications. Also, it helps me with advanced features to develop applications for the cloud, IoT, and AI.

It's mainly used for development. Therefore, it's mainly for either developers or IT development companies where they produce products and then sell them.

It's great for when you want to do development, such as on an enterprise-size project that requires a lot of teams also to be working on that project and that It's also good for helping with the workflow of the development in general.

My primary business is designing architecture, and I use Visual Studio to demonstrate how to use VS code in the browser. For example, if someone has a business idea for a banking application and is starting to think about how to develop it, they can use Visual Studio to make a very quick prototype. The pipelines then deliver this project to the new environment, and the end-user can see how quickly the application works.
