NVIDIA Nsight Tegra 1.1 Visual Studio Edition gives developers a path to Android

[![NVIDIA Nsight Tegra gives Windows developers an easier path to Android](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/nvidia-nsight-tegra-1360879886.jpg) ](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/15/nvidia-nsight-tegra-1-1-visual-studio-edition/)

One of the biggest roadblocks to Android app development is just coming to grips with the tool set: asking developers weaned on [Visual Studio](http://www.engadget.com/tag/VisualStudio/) to drop it for the likes of Eclipse is tossing them in the deep end of the pool. NVIDIA is offering a slightly gentler swimming lesson through the launch of Nsight Tegra 1.1 Visual Studio Edition. The kit brings the needed framework for native Android apps into Visual Studio 2010 so that programmers can work with the debugging and other features they've come to know. Although Nsight Tegra isn't the same as building in Google's preferred environment, it's also free for registered Tegra developers -- no doubt in the hopes that there will be more apps built around [NVIDIA's chips](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/06/nvidia-tegra-4-official/).
