When Microsoft introduced full featured community Edition for developers, I was curious to know what all differences it has with other paid versions? Because I can almost do everything with the community edition then why do I need a paid version? When I searched MSDN I found my answer and difference was quite considerable. However, if you are an Individual Developer and doesn’t need too many features, then community edition is best to start with. There are notable differences between each of the versions/editions and it’s worth knowing it. Instead of I type everything here, Microsoft made it very easy for us to compare the various editions and take a decision. Compare Visual Studio Editions https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/compare/ Microsoft nicely explains each the notable difference between various editions – don’t miss to go through this.

Microsoft has completely redesigned the documentation website and they have created a one single unified place to have the entire documentation available. Turn over to this link:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-in/ docs.microsoft.com It's now very easy to view all the documentation at one place and get help faster than earlier. For example, If I want to know more about .NET. Just click on the .NET tab and you will be taken to the place where all the information regarding .NET  (C#, F#, .NET Core etc) is available at a unified location. Getting help and learning more about the product is now easy with this new unified approach. Thanks to Microsoft for taking this step and helping developers to learn more and get help faster than ever. Happy Learning !!!  Harsh Shah
