Visual Studio 的roadmap

我之前一直以为Whidbey 会在2005年和longhorn一起发布,原来在2005年会有Orcas的发布,令人期待ing,.,,,

Whidbey

Visual Basic

The Whidbey release of Visual Basic will radically improve developer productivity while continuing to provide full access to the .NET Framework. Key design goals for Visual Basic Whidbey include: reducing the amount of code required to accomplish common tasks; dramatically reducing programming errors at design time; simplifying data access; improving the RAD debugging experience; and delivering high-end features for advanced Visual Basic developers.

我觉得对我冲击最大的特色当属这个

Figure 3. Use of the My. classes provides Visual Basic developers with faster access to commonly used functionality within the .NET Framework.

In addition, the Visual Basic code editor will provide pre-built code templates that enable developers to "fill in the blanks" and focus on solving the problem at hand rather than on language syntax (figure 4). Developers will also be able to easily create and distribute their own customized code snippets.

我相信这样可以极大的提高我们的变成效率

VC.net 也有一些比较大的改动,包括对64位操作系统的支持

In Whidbey, Visual C++ will offer even more power and fine-grained control than its predecessors for systems and application developers targeting both Windows and the .NET Framework. Key improvements are planned across all areas of the product, including the language, compiler, and core libraries. These enhancements will enable C++ developers to more effectively target the CLR, optimize their code for performance, target 64-bit Windows, and improve application security. Moreover, Visual C++ Whidbey will enable developers to build native C++ applications for mobile devices directly within the Visual Studio Whidbey IDE. (More information about embedded C++ development can be found in the Device-Based Development section).

 今天Grace告诉我们从现在开始已经可以准备为明年的MVP Global Summit做准备了,不过据说Bill Gates将不会参加这个Summit,当然Steve肯定要参加的。当然这些距离我都是太远了。因为VISA是一个大问题。但是今天和几个Korea MVP聊天的时候,他们告诉我说韩国的MVP的US VISA都是由MS Korea 代半,所以成功率基本可以保证......

羡慕呀。。。
