In Visual Studio for Mac visual studio for mac macos 10.15 Fixed - Pending Release Jonathan Peppers MSFT commented Sep 15, '20 38 Votes.
the brief information I found while reading around Visual Basic, is that it
no longer has Microsoft support since 2008. While that may not be a big
issue for those still needing such a beast, there probably is a newer kind
of technology one could be investing time more wisely into the use thereof.

+{Since you have a computer which can support a virtual machine (os) and+
+not need run Windows directly, some software can run without an XP, etc.+
+And there is an open-source virtual machine available, for Intel-based Mac.+
+This in addition to better known retail products, details found in a search.}+
Since the Express Edition above indicates certain tools it provides, one can see
what kinds of Mac OS X software tools are available to perform similar tasks;
then check into how compatible those are with the resulting product you seek to
be engaged in; and if the recipient of said project could use an all-Mac result. In
their PC; if this is the direction you are considering.
You can create content in Terminal, in a Mac, or in XCode, and there are a few
free-ware open source cross-platform programming tools that could be used to
create a more platform neutral product; from what I've briefly read. However,
since Microsoft is playing to their own field, you may find if you have to be there
you will have to get a Virtual Machine to run Windows in the Mac or hope to get
a virtual machine that also can run just the Windows app without Windows in it.
Or, have an old cheap PC off to the side, and put your Windows software into it.
Then keep your modern-era stuff alive in your Mac. If you have Windows-only
clients, some of them may well be using their XP into the next century...
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂

With the ever-increasing focus on technology start-ups, there’s no better time to start developing or simply learning to code. Having made that decision, you might be left scratching your head. Choosing a language to learn may be the next logical step, but after that you will want to know what software you need to code. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express is a basic and free toolkit to allow you to develop and build applications for the Web, your smart phone, desktop or the cloud.
While billed as software for any level of developer, the people most likely to make use out of this toolkit are beginners. Being free means you don’t have to make any costly commitments to software, which you do not know that you want to keep. Visual Studio 2010 Express works well by integrating the .NET Framework alongside the two supported programming languages: Visual Basic and C#. The suite is easy to use with a shallow learning curve to encourage the amateur user.
Pro's: Basic suite that is easy to pick up.

Con's: Limited in what it can achieve: either through number of languages or possible application it can create.
Conclusion: Visual Basic Studio Express 2010 is, as its name would indicate, an express product offering the very basic options you will need to get your first web or smart phone applications up and running. Before making the commitment to a much more expensive suite such as the Visual Studio that this is a part of, you may find it a wise idea to test out the waters first of all.
If you are a dedicated developer, it is very unlikely you will need this but for a newbie or student, there’s nothing better.
