Call me blind but how exactly do we suppose to install Visual Web Developer with Web Platform Installer 3? There is no such an option. The other options do not install it, e.g. WebMatrix, MVC3.
Open Web PI and type Visual Web Developer in the search textbox, hit enter. If it is supported on your platform, you will see it in search results.

is there any opportunity to use the very interesting "Install this site as an app" feature of the new Microsoft Edge Chromium Web Browser via PowerShell or Command Prompt? This would be very satisfying since one could run a script-based customization so that specific intranet applications would be as easy accessible for users in Windows as usual apps.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any piece of information on that topic in Microsoft's Knowledge Base sites. Is there no dedicated (PowerShell) command or do I struggle to see the wood for the trees? :/
Thanks in advance.
Chromium would need to implement it, because Edge is based on Chromium.
Visual Studio has a template for a Word web add-in. Clicking 'Start' opens Word with the add-in loaded, and allows for immediate debugging of the front-end javascript in the IDE.
Word was running the add-in in ie11.
With this project, the only options I've found are debugging with 'f12' debugger located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\F12\IEChooser.exe (or System32).
I installed the latest version of windows to get access to the new Windows Terminal. This update also switched the Word add-in to load in edge instead of ie11, which requires the new Microsoft Edge Developer Tools.
I would like to get access to the functionality Visual Studio provides for debugging front-end code via an IDE instead of f12/edge developer tools. I cannot find out how Visual Studio allows this debugging as all of the properties are hidden away as settings in .sln and web.config etc.
Is there any way to debug this add-in with Visual Studio/vscode (preferrably vscode)?
There are many ways you can use VSCode for debugging but all debugging methods depends on external browsers like chrome, IE, edge debugger. I believe you do not want to perform this in VSCode.
This method will help you in some way. But I am sure you can manage this.
Step 1. Create a word web addin using Yeoman generator. Official link below
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/quickstarts/word-quickstart?tabs=yeomangenerator
They use nodejs and you can choose Angular / React / JS to build your addin.
The advantage is it will give you the flexibility to debug in any IDE .
Caveat: As I said above you can easily build the Addin with the help of web technology.
Step 2: Debugging: either you can use VSCODE Debugging functionality or use the browser
Step 3: If you choose browser: Go to sources > Choose Webpack > Select the .ts or /js file and set the breakpoint. Screenshot below for your kind reference.
note: I have selected Angular from office generator to build the addin. Then you can see the webpack under the sources. I believe this is the same for any technology.
Hope this will help you.
I have a gwt developed website that already runs 100% client-side (by which I mean no server-side javascript is used)
As one of the options for windows universal app development is javascript, is it possible to somehow turn a online gwt app into a offline uwp one?
I am aware there are solutions to package websites together with browser+installer, but if windows can run js 'natively' now (I assume via Edge) it seems a better route.
You can use UWP Javascript project from Visual Studio. This project allows you to add any HTML/CS/JS requires files. You can also use the Hosted model, where your files are downloaded from a URL (but then the app will require connectivity).
I've not tried the scenario, but I don't see any impediments, it should work.
Is there an IDE like Xcode to develop cross platform apps using ionic? I played with creator.ionic.io but they charge 40$ per month for the complete app development. Can you suggest some open source IDEs? Basically I wanted something similar to ionic where I can drag and drop objects to build the UI
I had come across the same problem when i started at first and found some suggestions from ionic official website.
I copied contents here for convenience.
Visual Studio Code
VS Code is a new editor that comes with support for ES6 syntax, as well as TypeScript support. It will also prompt users to include TypeScript definition files and download them from Definitely Typed. Visual Studio Code is free and works on OS X, Windows, and Linux.
Atom
Atom is cross platform editor built on web technologies. Atom has many plugins to make ES6/TypeScript development very easy. If there isn't something provided by Atom or a plugin, you can even make a plugin yourself, using JavaScript. Atom works on OS X, Windows, and Linux.
WebStorm
WebStorm is a paid IDE that provides many features, such as advanced refactoring support, automatic compilation of code, and gulp/grunt/webpack support. Out of the box, WebStorm comes with support for ES6 and TypeScript, as well as Angular and Ionic syntax support.
ALM
ALM is a free open source IDE built for typescript development, it can be run on any computer running chrome and can be hosted on a server and used on any computer with internet access.
Angular IDE by Webclipse
Angular IDE is a freemium IDE built for Angular 2 and TypeScript development providing integrated terminal support helping with node and npm management. Out of the box, Angular IDE includes code completion and validation for ES6, TypeScript, and Angular 2 HTML templates.
Personally i am using "Brackets" its open source as well and really good.
I think community gets totally confused about the OP's question here.He is asking not about an IDE for developing Ionic apps.He is asking the IDE like an Ionic creator.Which is the IDE anyone can create ionic apps without writing a code.
What is an Ionic Creator? See here.
Creator is a simple drag-&-drop tool for going from idea to App
Store, with just the drag of a mouse.
There is no such free and open source tool but the price you have mentioned is not correct with the official Ionic creator. It is $24/mo.You can see details here.
PRO
$24/mo for individuals
Unlimited Projects
Private Projects
In-Tool Code Editing
Basic & Native Exporting
Creator Mobile App
Note:
By using above tool you can create Ionic 1 apps only.There is no support for Ionic 2 yet. You can see the Roadmap of Ionic 2 creator here.
I have created a solution that comprise of a WPF application and a mobile device application. What I am trying to figure out is how to facilitate the installation of the mobile application.
When I publish and install the WPF desktop application it creates a start menu folder for the application. Optimally I would like to add the mobile application .msi to this menu but I'm not sure if this is supported by ClickOnce.
Any advice or guidance would be most hopeful.
I suggest looking at Inno Setup. Its a free installer for windows applications and has a simple scripting/wizard process. It'll provide this and all the normal installer functions (install location, start menu, desktop icon etc). It also provides an uninstaller
