Techtree News Staff, Dec 01, 2009 1434 hrs ISTDevelop, test, debug and build better applications with new developer tools
Microsoft recently announced the public beta of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 which will benefit Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Beta 2 users. Microsoft will launch Visual Studio 2010 on March 22, 2010.
Visual Studio 2010 features new testing options that'll help to ensure quality code. Enhancements to the integrated development environment mean that whether modeling, coding, testing or debugging, developers can use existing skills to deploy a growing number of application types. Visual Studio 2010 also features Built-in tools for Windows 7 and Microsoft SharePoint 2010, new drag and drop bindings for Silverlight and Windows Presentation Foundation, and interoperability of other technologies.
Microsoft says the new .NET Framework 4 will reduce the framework size by up to 81 percent leading to immensely smaller deployment using the Client Profile. Developers will also experience merits like additional support for industry standards, inclusion of the Dynamic Language Runtime for more language choice, new support for high-performance middle-tier applications (including parallel programming, workflow and service-oriented applications) and backward compatibility through side-by-side installation with .NET Framework 3.5.
"Developers face demanding, complex and fast-paced environments today; this next wave of tools and technologies will help simplify the development process from design to deployment and will enable developers to use their existing skills and knowledge to build better software, faster," said S. Somasegar, senior vice president of the Developer Division at Microsoft.
With the Ultimate Offer, active MSDN Premium subscribers will be transitioned to a higher-level Visual Studio 2010 with MSDN subscription at launch. This provides access to an unprecedented amount of resources, including test and development rights for Microsoft server software (including Windows Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008), Microsoft Office, and premium Visual Studio tools.
Those interested, can download Beta 2 from http://www.microsoft.com/india/visualstudio/products/2010/default.mspx.
Microsoft has also simplified the product lineup for Visual Studio 2010 and announced pricing details. In the next version, customers will be able to choose from three main versions of Visual Studio 2010:
