Visual Studio Live! Keynote: Artificial Intelligence Makes Visual Studio Smarter -- Visual Studio Magazine

Microsoft's Visual Studio team has long made each release of the IDE faster, more functional, less buggy and so on, but now, with the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning, it's actually getting smarter. That was a main takeaway from today's keynote session at Visual Studio Live! in Chicago, where Microsoft's Amanda Silver detailed the latest enhancements to the IDE and what's coming soon. The Director of Program Management for Developer Tools featured AI and ML throughout her presentation -- titled "The Present and Not Too Distant Future of Visual Studio" -- which covered advancements in personal productivity, IntelliCode, DevOps and more. "Our mission with Visual Studio is really to provide the best-in-class tools for any developer building any kind of app," Silver told the jam-packed VSLive! "Today, Visual Studio stands for a ton more. The core of the vision is any developer, any app on any platform."
