A group blog from members of the VB team
May 20, 2014May 20, 201405/20/14Thanks everybody for all the great feedback!
We’ve received hundreds of replies since last week with detailed information and concrete examples for us to review. We are closing the survey today and have started to process the tons of data you have provided.
The overwhelming majority of you have told us that Edit and Continue is important and you’d like us to make it even better.

Join Principal Program Managers Dustin Campbell and Mads Torgersen as they give you the inside scoop on the future of VB and C#.

Hey VB developers!
Do you get tired of seeing this box (I know I do)?
Tell us about it!
The Visual Studio team would like your anonymous feedback on improving Edit and Continue (E&C) when developing .NET applications.
May 5, 2014May 5, 201405/5/14Hey VB hackers,
Microsoft Virtual Academy recently published a six-part series all about building modern apps for the Windows Store using your favorite language and staring Visual Basic MVP Bill Burrows and yours truly 🙂
Microsoft Virtual Academy is a free service available to anyone to sharpen their skills and learn the latest and greatest technologies.
May 2, 2014May 2, 201405/2/14Yesterday we published a copy of a fun “Roslyn”-powered retro editor for Visual Basic called QuickVB in honor of the 50th birthday of BASIC. We thought this was a neat application to showcase our love of BASIC but since then we’ve realized that it’s also a great example of how to put the power of the .NET Compiler Platform (“Roslyn”) APIs to use.
May 1, 2014May 1, 201405/1/14UPDATE: QuickVB is now open source!
The Visual Basic team joins Dartmouth and developers worldwide whose lives have been touched by this amazing language in wishing Dartmouth BASIC (and indeed the whole BASIC family of languages) a very happy 50th birthday (and many more) today!
