Congratulations! Keep up the great work.
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

Thank you MT_ .

There's nothing I do on this site that gives me as much pleasure as seeing someone I've been able to help achieve great things. Congratulations are thoroughly deserved. Well done.

I just set up a new VM for private use on my work laptop.
I wanted to download VS2013 Community Edition, but then I noticed an alternative: VS Online.
As far as I can see it's free for my personal use. I'm looking to do some hobby coding. Does it have the same features as VS2013 CE? What about database access? Would I also need a (free) Azure account?
I'm looking for some experiences and recommendations. Go Online or stick to VS2013 CE?

When you publish a website to Azure, you can use Visual Studio online to edit the HTML/CSS/Javascript. You can't touch the server side stuff with it though (the models/controllers and so on).
I mainly use it if I need to urgently something in production without going through the whole publish process, don't find it overly useful.

Ask yourself... Do you trust your code to the cloud?
I don't... I'll stick with CE at home.

It's just some hobby stuff, so privacy isn't really an issue.
I wouldn't use it for any production work.

Visual Studio Online[^] is the repository not an IDE. You can use it WITH VS2013 CE but not INSTEAD.

Oooooooohhhhhh... That's not what I understood from that exact same website, but perhaps I was biased into believing it was!

Yep, very confusing name for otherwise good product

That they placed it right next to the VS2013 CE download, same size on screen, like they were alternatives, didn't help either

Don't feel bad... I thought it was an online IDE too... I just wasn't about to try it

Yes, that's what makes people mistakenly believe Visual Studio Online was some kind of "cloud IDE" that can be used as a stripped-down, simplified replacement for a local Visual Studio installation, like the free Office Online apps, but it's not.

If/when you get to the point where you really want to use it for builds, etc, I have done quite a bit of configuration & experimentation in this regard and try to post those findings and other interesting things on my blog, .Netitude[^]

Hobby code or other, I would never put my code in the cloud trusting that the servers will be running when I want to work on my project.
Besides, there's lots of times I'm in a disconnected state (some may say a dissociated state) so having all my stuff without needing Internet access is a requirement.

I love having my code in the cloud. I have 4 computers that I use the same code from and it syncs automatically between them. A lot of times, those computers are on networks that are completely unrelated by location or by domain. So, I can check my code in from an implementation site on my laptop and pull it down on my dev Desktop back at work. I develop in a 1 man shop (me) so any TFS implementation had to be maintained by me. That's waaay to much overhead for just little, old me.
If you want to talk security... blah, I get paid for getting the job done. If someone thinks my code is so interesting that they go through the pain of hacking MS for it... then, they'll be sadly disappointed.
Also, each of my dev computers have a copy of the code so if they delete the Web at some point (or it gets hacked and untrusted) I still have my own backups.
Good Luck; You'll need it

When I develop software I want the process to be repeatable. E.G. I want to be able to use a fresh machine, re-install the tools and rebuild my software from source code.
With cloud tools I do not have any control over whether or not I can re-create a particular version of my code.
You may ask why don't I use the cloud for quick experiments or hobby? The answer may be unsatisfying, but I simply don't like to develop and learn complete new processes for quick experiments when I am in a deep rut of doing it professionally without big hurdles and everything is ready.
