made a university project and the result was quite good

Reviewed 6 years ago

I did a university project and the result was quite good, I recommend it for small projects

Pros

*It has a very fast learning curve. *Integrates the design and implementation of Windows forms. *It allows to easily use the platform of Windows systems, since it has almost total access to the Windows API, including current libraries. *It is one of the most widely used languages, so it is easy to find information, documentation and sources for projects. *Easily extensible through DLL...

Cons

*Versioning problem associated with several runtime DLL libraries, known as DLL Hell. *Poor support for object-oriented programming. *Inability to create multi-threaded applications, without having to resort to calls from the Windows API. *Dependence on complex and fragile COM registry entries. *The ability to use controls in a single form is very limited compared to other tools.

Powerful and very versatile tool.

Pros

I love the idea that VS Code fits seamlessly into any development environment, making it a perfect fit for any programming language. It has many plugins that speed up the code creation process and above all, it allows you to build the IDE yourself to your liking and need.

Cons

One flaw I can describe is the fact that VS Code probably has a lot of cool and interesting features that we'll probably never get to use, either wanting a more intuitive interface or not feeling the need. I feel that VS Code should promote more those tools that are rarely used but that they feel can help the end user a lot.
