Get the Inside Scoop on Visual Studio Subscriptions, Straight to Your Inbox 

A few weeks ago I was talking with a Visual Studio Enterprise subscriber. Seasoned .NET developer. Ships production code. Knows his stack inside and out. 

During the conversation I mentioned one of the training benefits included in his subscription. 

He stopped me. 

“I didn’t even know that was included.” 

That is exactly why we created the Visual Studio Subscriptions monthly email newsletter. 

Why We Launched It 

Visual Studio Professional and Enterprise subscriptions include far more than just the IDE. For example: 

• Professional or Enterprise IDE downloads 

• Monthly Azure credits 

• Azure Dev/Test pricing 

• Training platforms like Pluralsight and Cloud Academy 

• Discounts on Visual Studio Live! events 

• Additional partner offers 

That is real value. But most developers are focused on building, shipping, and supporting applications. You’re not signing in to my.visualstudio.com every week to see what changed. And you shouldn’t have to. 

The Visual Studio newsletter delivers the signal directly to you, once a month, in a format that is concise, relevant, and actionable. 

What You’ll Get 

This is not a generic marketing email. It’s built specifically for Visual Studio subscribers. 

Each edition includes exclusive resources you will not find anywhere else, including: 

• Hot off the press updates 

• Insider tips to level up your code 

• Carefully curated on-demand content 

• Clear explanations of subscriber benefits 

• Coupon codes 

• Event announcements 

• Practical insights from the Visual Studio team 

If you have ever wondered whether you’re fully using your subscription, this newsletter makes it easy to know. 

Why It Matters 

Technology moves fast. AI is changing development workflows. .NET continues to evolve. Azure adds capabilities every month. 

Staying current does not mean reading everything. It means reading the right things. 

The newsletter helps you: 

• Discover new and updated subscriber benefits 

• Activate learning resources you may not know about 

• Take advantage of exclusive discounts 

• Stay ahead on tools like GitHub Copilot, Azure, and .NET 

Small, consistent updates compound over time.
