Hi — my name is Adam Gallant, Technology Specialist for Tools and ALM at Microsoft Canada. It’s a real thrill to be a guest editor for the MSDN Flash this time around, and I’m particularly excited about a topic that directly impacts you as a developer and that is the impending launch of
Visual Studio 2010
.
There are tons and tons of great things to talk about when it comes to
Visual Studio, Team Foundation Server, Testing and Lab Management
. From the point of view of every person involved in producing software inside, outside, and between organizations, the Visual Studio product line with MSDN subscriptions is full of enhancements that affect you and will help you do your job better.
Most importantly, for customers who have
existing and current MSDN subscriptions
, there are some really great changes in licensing that will ensure you get access to at least the same, and most likely, more functionality than you have now.
The Ultimate Offer
helps you take advantage of this extra value and is something you can take advantage of now to support you with the transition. I just wrapped up an event series spreading the word about the 2010 release of Microsoft’s tooling. So I’d encourage you to
email me
if you have any questions about how to take advantage of the new upcoming release of Visual Studio 2010 or how you can take advantage of the Ultimate Offer before it goes away.
If you haven’t tried the functionality of Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework 4.0, you can start today by
downloading Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 versions
, and even using them in supported, production scenarios, with the accompanying Go Live license. Whatever version of the framework you target, and whatever type of application you are building, there’s something in this release for you! Enjoy this week’s edition of the MSDN Flash.
