Microsoft Visual Studio For Mac
I am a developer, I just got a macbook pro and I need to be able to use IIS, Visual Studio and SQL Server like I did on my old windows notebook. I understand that I need to get windows first but I am totally new to mac and I am confused about the difference between installing parallels windows or using the bootcamp to install windows. Are both the same or different things? What do I need to do to be able to install them?

Please deprecate Visual Studio for Mac in favor of focusing on Visual Studio Code. Or port VS for Mac.

Bootcamp (free from Apple) gives you the ability to boot your system into Windows, which is installed on a separate disk partition from OS X. OS X functions are not available while Windows is running.
Parallels ($), VMWare Fusion ($), and VirtualBox (free) are virtual machine managers, which allow you to create a Windows (or other O/S) system that runs within a program window in OS X. These will slow your system down because it is doing the processing for Windows and OS X at the same time.
For both of these solutions, you need a Windows license.
If you don't want to buy Windows and are super adventurous, you could try installing CrossOver ($), which allows you to install some windows software so it runs directly on OS X (that is, masquerading as a native OS X program), but Visual Studio is known to be flaky in that environment, so I advise against this. Masochists may feel free to ignore my advice.

Take a look here, this is on a Microsoft site:
It works great with both Parallel, VM-ware or Bootcamp. You can even install it Windows native (multiple partition) on a Mac.
I recommend you to check your workflow first and the choose your solution.It works great to develop a Mac if you develop for many platforms.

Turn Visual Studio into a powerful development environment for SQL Server, Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Data Warehouse.
SQL is NOT supported on Visual Studio for Mac.
To see what tools are supported, click hereModernize your database development lifecycle
Develop, build, test and publish your database from a source controlled project, just like you develop your application code. Start from scratch with a new Database project, or import an existing database with a few clicks
Validate T-SQL scripts as you type
Editing T-SQL in your database is easier thanks to enhanced IntelliSense and error highlighting. Identify syntax and schema reference errors, track the impact of your changes using Find All Reference and Go To Definition. By the time you finish typing, your T-SQL script is already tested and ready to run.
Focus on what your table should be. Forget how to get there.
Use Table Designer to design a new table, modify existing table, or quickly add new or modify existing columns, constraints and indexes. You don’t need to write the complex code to alter affected indexes, views, procedures and functions – Visual Studio writes the change script for you. Just focus on what your table should be.

View and edit data without writing a script
Viewing and editing data in a table is the most frequent task for developers but it usually requires writing a query. With Visual Studio, view and edit data in a tabular grid, filter the grid using a simple UI and save changes to your database with just a few clicks.
Diff your database
Do you ‘diff’ to know changes in your application’s source code? You can do diff on multiple versions of your database using schema compare and data compare in Visual Studio. The result of the comparison between two databases or database projects is analyzed and allows you to apply the change from source database to target, or simply generate T-SQL scripts you can view, modify and run at your control.
Essentials for success
Continuous integration and continuous deployment has become a common practice for modern application development projects. Use Visual Studio to bring databases into your end-to-end application development lifecycle (ALM) practice by fully automating build and deployment whenever a change is made to your application and database. Invest 10 minutes to significantly boost the chance of success for your project.
