Microsoft Visual Studio

Microsoft Visual Studio is a visual IDE to help web developers and other programmers get started creating applications for the web, mobile devices, and the desktop. This review focuses primarily on Visual Studio Pro, but there are other, more expensive options to add even more features. You can also purchase Visual Studio with an MSDN subscription.

Visual Studio includes the latest in HTML5 and CSS3 standards as well as JavaScript and jQuery along with jQuery Mobile to help you create dynamic and interesting web and mobile applications. There are design-centric tools to create your web applications in HTML5. This is a very powerful IDE, even at the lowest level (Pro).

If you're not sure you're ready to buy Visual Studio, you should try Microsoft Visual Studio Express.
