A Lap Around the Visual Studio 11 Development Environment
with expert Robert Green
In this talk, you will take a quick look at some of the new features and enhancements of the next version of Visual Studio. A primary goal of this new release is to streamline the development environment, based on two big pillars: simplicity and speed. Simplicity means reducing the amount of buttons and windows simultaneously open in your daily developing tasks. Fewer tool windows, less clutter in the IDE, and fewer distractions are all improvements that will help you focus on the problem at hand and not on Visual Studio. Speed means improving the overall performance of Visual Studio, reducing the time needed to open a solution, build, debug, and so on. Speed also means finding what you are looking for and using commands more quickly and easily, without needing to browse several nested menus, or scroll through a very long list of items to find what you need.
