First Look At Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the you-mean-there-are-people-who-don't-use-vi? dept.

snydeq writes "InfoWorld's Martin Heller takes VS2010 Beta 1 for a test drive and finds the upgrade promising, particularly with regard to improved thread debugging and a revamped UI. But the biggest enhancements have to do with parallel programming, Heller writes. 'I'm not sure that I've completely grasped the power of the new .Net Framework and native C++ support for task and data parallelism in VS2010, but what I've seen so far is impressive.' Heller points to intriguing parallel programming samples posted to CodePlex and offers numerous screenshots of VS2010 Beta 1 functionality. He also notes that the beta still lacks support for ASP.Net MVC, smart devices, and the .Net Micro Framework."

    No, like this:

    developers
    developers
    developers
    developers
    deverlopee
    elsdeverlpr
    opesdeveos

    Or something like that. Threading is hard! :)

    May I interest you in a truly advanced OS/Environment/Editor?

    Or do you lack the skills necessary to make the machine obey your every whim?
