After releasing an early version of Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 in February, Microsoft has now launched the final build for software developers to download right now. Unlike Update 1, which was created mainly to fix bugs in Visual Studio 2013, this new download adds a number of new features to Microsoft's development tool.

Somasegar writes quite a bit about Visual Studio 2013's new preview support for Apache Cordova, which is an open source platform for making mobile apps
