    For the last six years you've heard us go on and on about this Roslyn thing and how it's the platform for the future and would change everything and that we were all-in on it and "it's going to be great just wait and see".

    Avatar Anthony D. Green [MSFT] April 2, 2015 Apr 2, 2015 04/2/15
    Hey all, I hope you enjoyed yesterday's April Fools' Day post. I thought it was a fun way to kick off an experiment I'd like to conduct and in this post I'll tell you how you can actually try out lowercase keywords for VB on your machine right now no matter what version of VS you're using (no joke).

    How "Roslyn" Finally Unshackled Visual Basic From The Tyranny of the Pretty-Lister
    How "Roslyn" Finally Unshackled Visual Basic From The Tyranny of the Pretty-Lister
    Avatar Anthony D. Green [MSFT] April 1, 2015 Apr 1, 2015 04/1/15
    UPDATE 2015-04-02: After reading this post be sure to read the follow-up post!

    Avatar Anthony D. Green [MSFT] December 11, 2014 Dec 11, 2014 12/11/14
    "Lambdas! Lambdas! Lambdas! Lambdas! ..." If you hadn't heard, Visual Studio 2015 will support the use of lambda expressions in the debugger windows. We're all very excited to deliver on this longstanding TOP customer request. When LINQ was introduced in 2008 it was a game changer for the way .NET developers think about and code with data. So...

    QuickVB Goes Open Source!
    Avatar Anthony D. Green [MSFT] May 2, 2014 May 2, 2014 05/2/14
    Yesterday we published a copy of a fun “Roslyn”-powered retro editor for Visual Basic called QuickVB in honor of the 50th birthday of BASIC.
