Happy Birthday Visual Studio 2010

Yesterday was Visual Studio 2010′s first birthday .

Somasegar in his weblog talks about the first year of Visual Studio 2010 . How well it has been for the users as well as the MSDN subscribers .

The Visual Studio got lot of things in its first year which includes

  • WPF Designer for the IDE
  • Windows Phone 7 Development . Interesting, but pretty sad that the Windows Mobile 6.5 and earlier mobile development is not possible in Visual Studio 2010 .
  • Windows Azure Development
  • The release of productivity tools like Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2010 and other extensions
  • Release of Visual Studio Async CTP and ADO.NET Entity Framework 4.1
  • Release of Visual Studio LightSwitch
  • Visual Studio 2010 SP1

Somashekar also states that

 

More than 1,600 Visual Studio 2010 extensions have been submitted to the Visual Studio Gallery, with over 4 million extension downloads by users.  Our partners continue to be able to build businesses around Visual Studio, and over the past year, partners have generated over $400 million in revenue from Visual Studio-based extensions.  And many customers have been using Visual Studio 2010 to meet their business goals.

 

Its Indeed a great year for Visual Studio 2010 and we wish that it has more to achieve in the coming years
