Mike Douglas on Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2010 This month we sat down with Mike Douglas, Deliveron Solution Consultant, to discuss the upcoming release of Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server 2010. Q. – What is all the hype about with the upcoming release? A. – There are significant improvements across the spectrum with the upcoming release. First, .NET 4.0 has significant improvements in areas of multithreading, dynamic language support, and declarative programming support. Second, Visual Studio 2010 has been completely rewritten in WPF with better support for SharePoint, Silverlight, and WPF development. Third, Team Foundation Server 2010 is a major update to previous versions including new features such as hierarchical work items, Gated Check-Ins, and better Agile process templates. Along with the new features, there are a number of deployment improvements including a new product called Lab Management 2010 that supports provisioning virtual test environments. Q. – Sounds like a major release. When is it supposed to be released?
A. – Yes, this is probably one of the largest development platform releases. The official launch date is April 12, 2010. One of the great things about this release is that Mircosoft has taken the proper steps to deliver the right product at the right time. In fact, VS2010 has been available to download since PDC 2008. |
