    Roslyn Primer – Part I: Anatomy of a Compiler
    AvatarAnthony D. Green [MSFT]October 2, 2017Oct 2, 201710/2/17

    So, you’ve heard that VB (and C#) are open source now and you want to dive in and contribute. If you haven’t spent your life building compilers, you probably don’t know where to start. No worries, I’ll walk you through it.

    Roslyn ships v1.0-rc2 with "Go-Live" license
    AvatarAnthony D. Green [MSFT]May 1, 2015May 1, 201505/1/15

    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”.

    A Journey Through Open Source: The Trials & Triumphs in Roslyn's First Year of Open Source

    “I am looking for someone to share in an adventure.”
    — Gandalf, The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien

    On April 3, 2014, Anders Hejlsberg set us on our open source journey when he made the .NET Compiler Platform (aka “Roslyn”) source code public live on stage in San Francisco.

    How "Roslyn" Finally Unshackled Visual Basic From The Tyranny of the Pretty-Lister
    AvatarAnthony D. Green [MSFT]April 1, 2015Apr 1, 201504/1/15

    UPDATE 2015-04-02: After reading this post be sure to read the follow-up post!
    I was chatting with an old Microsoftie a while ago and he let me in on the real story behind Visual Basic’s at times aggressive reformatting of code.

    We're moving to GitHub!
    AvatarAnthony D. Green [MSFT]January 10, 2015Jan 10, 201501/10/15

    It’s official. We’re moving to GitHub!
    We are moving the Roslyn OSS code from CodePlex to GitHub. GitHub has a vibrant open source community that we want to actively be a part of and contribute to. We are also going to take this time to modify our pull request process.

    Better together: Visual Basic 14 and the Visual Studio 2015 Debugger
    AvatarAnthony D. Green [MSFT]December 11, 2014Dec 11, 201412/11/14

    “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.

    Post-Release Goodies
    AvatarAnthony D. Green [MSFT]November 19, 2014Nov 19, 201411/19/14

    The Rosetta lander Philae wasn’t the only thing in space last week. Our launch of Visual Studio 2015 Preview and our announcement to open source the full .NET server stack were out of this world. After all, it’s not every day that you can say your work trended higher than Kim Kardashian on Twitter.

    Introducing the Visual Studio 2015 Preview for VB and C#
    AvatarAnthony D. Green [MSFT]November 12, 2014Nov 12, 201411/12/14

    Download Visual Studio 2015 Preview and review the release notes.
    Over the past several years, our team has been hard at work re-implementing the full language stacks for Visual Basic and C#. While this was a long investment, we knew that an improved stack with a cleaner architecture would allow our team to work faster,

    .NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn") for the Rest of Us
    AvatarBeth Massi - MicrosoftJune 24, 2014Jun 24, 201406/24/14

    WOW! It’s been a while — almost exactly 4 years since yours truly, Beth Massi, last posted on the VB Team blog (although it’s cool to see I’m still in the tag cloud ;-)).  I’m honored to be a special guest post today.

    Visual Studio "14" CTP Now Available
    AvatarAnthony D. Green [MSFT]June 3, 2014Jun 3, 201406/3/14

    As announced today by Soma, we’ve just released the first CTP (Community Technology Preview) of the next version of Visual Studio. This is doubly-exciting as this is the first public release of a version of Visual Studio powered by “Roslyn” by default.
