[Year 12 SofDev] Visual Studio 2012

[Bucknell, Chris]

Hi Anthony,

I've been using it for a few months and really like it.  On the surface it looks a bit different but most things are in the same places.  It's a similar experience from going from VS2005 to VS2008.  Some cool new feature, especially for ASP.NET web development with new java-script support cooked into the IDE.  Some great feature for developing solutions involving databases (esp. SQL server), SharePoint Server and WPF solutions.

I've given it to my Software Dev students without any new training (they used VS2008 last year) and they're more than happy with it.  My recommendation is if your building software on the Microsoft stack jump into VS2012.

Regards Chris

Just wondering if anyone has had a look at 2012 Visual Studio yet...

And if so, are there any significant changes to the 2010 Version

If not, maybe Mark Kelly could download it, try it out and give some feedback - as he must be getting sick of walking along the beach by now!
