["Boing Boing'S Shop"]

Date: 2026-04-10  

TL;DR: This bundle includes Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2026 and 15 beginner-friendly coding courses, giving you both the tools and training to start building projects. It's on sale for $59.99 (reg. $1,999).

You've probably thought about learning to code — you've just been putting it off. This bundle removes a few of the usual excuses by giving you both the software and the lessons in one place. It includes Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2026 and a Premium Learn to Code Certification Bundle, now on sale for $59.99 (reg. $1,999).

If you're starting from scratch, the course bundle gives you a structured way in. It includes 15 courses covering everything from web and game development to app building and deep learning. You'll work with languages like Python, C++, MySQL, JavaScript, Java, and Ruby on Rails, along with practical applications like building apps, developing games, and creating simple assistants. The lessons are beginner-friendly and self-paced, so you can move through them without feeling like you're falling behind.

Once you've got a handle on the basics, the included Microsoft Visual Studio Professional license gives you a place to actually use those skills. It's a full-featured development environment used by professionals, and the 2026 version adds deeper AI integration, performance improvements, and stronger collaboration tools.

There's definitely a learning curve as a beginner, but that's kind of the point. Visual Studio supports building cross-platform apps with .NET MAUI, creating web interfaces with Blazor, and developing, debugging, and testing applications across different systems. It also includes real-time collaboration features, so teams can work together without the usual setup headaches.

In short, this bundle pairs learning resources with a practical environment to apply them.

Normally $1,999, you can get the Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2026 + The Premium Learn to Code Certification Bundle on sale for just $59.99.
