Hey guys it's Eddie the Magic Monk. I'm back from Korea but the reason why
I haven't made many videos lately is because I was a little bit sick but I am
sort of halfway back now so I will start making videos again now in this video
we're going to talk about upgrading from visual studio 2015 to 2017 which you
probably thought about doing if you have visual studio 2015 like I do so if you
want to upgrade to 2017 what you realize is that 2017 is designed to be installed
alongside previous versions of Visual Studio so what that means is there is no
way for you to upgrade from 2015 to 2017 you can install 2017 it will not impact
on 2015 so you can have both together so what I'm going to do now is show you how
to install it but so you might say why would you need 2015 because there are
some things that 2017 does not support okay so for example it says that
Silverlight projects are not supported in 2017 so you have to keep using 2015
for that projects for Windows Store 8.1 8.0 Windows Phone 8.1 I presume not
support it in 2017 and so on but what does it do support a lot of supports
developing for all of these things okay Node.js unity xamarin is the one we want
to use but it's not written down here which is sort of funny but if you look
at platform targeting Visual Studio support
for Android development it says enables you to use xamarin all
that it's also got support for Node.js which is really cool right Node.js
so yeah I'm going to show you how to install it so if you just go back to the
top and go to visual studio IDE and then apply now to participate in 1:1
mobile workshops okay download Visual Studio community is the
one that I use because I don't work in an office or a team or anything it's
just myself so it's downloading already click this link so now it's
doing stuff okay continue so notice I already have 2015 installed but it does
not matter okay even if you already have 2015 you can install 2017 just make sure
that you put them in install them in different folders so now this really
cool thing comes up okay you can basically click what you want to install
what you want to do with Visual Studio so there's all of these things you can
do you can build dotnet desktop development desktop development with C++
all this stuff now on basically only going to be using it for xamarin okay
cuz game development with unity well I'm already using Visual Studio 2015 for
that xamarin I'm already using 2015 but you know I want to do it in 2017 from
now I'll probably
build mobile with Apache Cordova as well so might as well tick that yes I'm
ticking these two things already it's thirty point five GB you know the
location is very important because where do you have thirty point five GB well
I don't really want to install on my C Drive so I'm going to put it in my D
Drive okay and then click install and now it's installing okay well that's it
okay you can still use Visual Studio 2015 as well as 2017
that's basically a point of my video okay thanks for watching guys see you
next time.
