Get set up with Microsoft Visual Studio

Visual Studio 2022 is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) developed by Microsoft that empowers developers to build high-performance applications for the Arm architecture.

You can learn more about Microsoft Visual Studio on Arm-powered devices from the Microsoft Learn website.

There are three editions of Visual Studio 2022 that are tailored to various development needs:

  • Community Edition is a free, fully-featured edition ideal for students, open source contributors, and individual developers.
  • Professional Edition offers professional developer tools, services, and subscription benefits for small teams.
  • Enterprise Edition provides the most comprehensive set of tools and services for large teams and enterprise-level development.

To establish which edition is best-suited to your needs, see Compare Visual Studio 2022 Editions .

Note

This Learning Path uses the Community Edition of Visual Studio 2022, but you can also use other editions.
