For many organizations, Microsoft Visual Studio Code has become the standard development environment across teams and technology stacks. Your Natural applications power some of your most critical business processes, so why not develop them in the same environment your developers already use every day?
Natural for Visual Studio Code brings Natural development into Visual Studio Code, giving teams the flexibility to work alongside NaturalONE while leveraging familiar workflows, modern DevOps practices, and existing Natural investments.
Ready to attract and onboard the next generation of Natural developers?
While development teams work across a variety of environments, onboarding new developers often requires them to learn specialized tools and workflows before they can become productive. Giving Natural developers access to Visual Studio Code can simplify onboarding and help new team members become productive faster.
What could your team achieve with a modern Natural development environment?
When development teams are forced to work across disjointed tools, they have to rely on manual processes, custom workarounds, and third-party adapters. This introduces complexity and cost, while new developers struggle to get up to speed. The result is slower onboarding, higher overhead, and a growing skills gap that makes it harder to attract new talent.
Natural for Visual Studio Code accelerates onboarding and task learning while giving teams access to the broader Visual Studio Code ecosystem. Teams can adopt modern DevOps workflows while preserving existing Natural applications and development investments.
