I'm fairly new to web development (coming from app development). I'm trying to use visual studio 2019 on mac and I don't see a way to install the node js extensions or 'workload' that a lot of tutorials are recommending.
How do I get started with node js and react development in VS 2019?
VS for Mac is rather different from VS for Windows, and does not yet support Node.js.
Instead, you should use Visual Studio Code, which is the same on all platforms and does.

I created a project in Visual Studio Pro 2019 from an existing Node.js TypeScript web code via the “Create a new project” wizard in VS. I am using a Windows 10 machine.
When I launch the Performance Profiler, the only available tool is “Events Viewer”. The tool that I want to use is “Instrumentation” so that I can measure call counts and call response times.
Has anyone had any success in doing this for a Node.js TypeScript web project in VS? If so, how were you able to get the “Instrumentation” tool enabled?
I have seen mention of profiling in the following link, but it is probably referring to Node.js JavaScript projects: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/features/node-js/
I haven't been able to profile Node.js project with Visual Studio 2019 but I'm using Visual Studio Code as a workaround.
Can I profile NodeJS Applications using Visual Studio Code?
I have been using profiler for C++ project with Visual Studio 2019 and it is better than profiler on VS Code.
Is it possible to use the ServiceStack templates in Visual Studio 2017 or 2019? I've seen the documentation reference VS Code. I'm able to run the projects in VS 2019. If there is a place ask ServiceStack, I haven't found it yet.
All ServiceStack Project Templates should work in Visual Studio, eventually all .NET Core projects will be upgraded to use .NET Core 3.1 LTS when it's released where you'll need to use VS 2019.
But most of the Single Page App Templates utilizes npm utils to provide web transformations and each SPA Framework has unique formats like Vue's SFC's, React JSX and .svelte templates which are poorly supported in Visual Studio, you'll have a much better development experience using either VS Code or JetBrains Rider with first-class support for these formats and much better Terminal integration to run watched npm utils.
If I needed to use Visual Studio I'd only use it for all back-end C# development whilst using VS Code for all front-end development and running built-in npm utils in its multi terminal window support.
Otherwise for non SPA project templates using Visual Studio should provide a good development experience.
If there is a place ask ServiceStack, I haven't found it yet.
If you're asking if there's a specific place to ask ServiceStack questions, you can use the ServiceStack Customer Forums.
Can I develop a Windows Phone & store apps on both using Visual Studio 2012. Although it is recommended to use Visual Studio 2013.
You can develop apps for wither but you will not be able to make universal. Why would you want to do that when you can download the VS2013 Express version and develop proper 8.1 universal apps?
Does the new node.js plugin for Visual Studio work with Express Versions or with the integrated shell? As far as I know, the F# tools work in integrated shell.
The answer seems to be no, but they think of it. https://nodejstools.codeplex.com/workitem/520
I have visual studio 2012 express for web, now I need to make a desktop app, need I to download visual studio 2012 express for desktop or is there any addon I can install on web edition?
thanks
You can create Class Library projects in the web edition of Visual Studio Express, change the Output Type in the project properties to Console Application or Windows Application, add any library references you'd need (particularly for the Windows application, as none of the forms stuff will be included by default), and go from there.
This works well for console applications, but I imagine you're going to run into issues with Windows applications. The project templates are nonexistent, so you're on your own for setting things up from scratch. The forms designer probably isn't there, or if it is probably won't work as expected. And this won't work at all for Windows Store applications.
It's a lot easier to just download both editions and run them both. I've been running Web, Desktop, Windows 8, and Database editions side-by-side for a while now without problems.
need I to download visual studio 2012 express for desktop
Yes, you do.
That's part of the limitation of express editions.
