Microsoft today announced that the next version of Visual Studio will be named as Visual Studio 2019 and the preview version of Visual Studio 2019 can be installed side-by-side with Visual Studio 2017. Though the release dates of Visual Studio 2019 is not yet announced, but the preview version of the IDE can be expected in the coming months.
The next version of Visual Studio, i.e. Visual Studio 2019 will be committed towards faster execution, more productive for developers to perform their tasks; be it be refactorings, debugings and/or faster build process. It will also give more focus on real time collaborations between team members using the capabilities like Live Share.
Best part is that the Visual Studio 2019 Preview can be installed side-by-side with Visual Studio 2017 and will not require any major upgrade of the Operating System. You can download the latest version of Visual Studio 2017, if you haven't done already.
