Visual Studio 2008

[cr_0]

Has anybody tried this out or have a license copy to this. Company is ms partner and I have access to software. Id really like to step up and get into .net asp programming and web development. I heard good and bad things about vs2k8 but id like to give it a shot and install it on my machine. Are any of you guys working on the .net framework or use it for the ms javascript intellisense.

i am a MSDN subswcriber and it wont install on my xp machine. maybe caues i have a hacked xp service pack 3 on it.

no idea wont install for me.

2008 is really edge. i wouldnt use it for anything except skill gathering for a job or a real pro consulting job

2005 is pretty stable

MS Visual Studio 2008 is more flexible compared to 2003 and 2005 versions. It focuses more on web development. There are useful additional tools available now.

The drawback on this new edition, like MS Windows Vista, it requires more pc processing power. It will frustrate you if your unit is slow.

I'm a C# programmer. Eversince, I'm using MS Visual Studio 2003. It's just that im working on a huge system now. The moment im done with this, i think ill shift to the 2008 version.

Just try it man. It's case to case basis afterall. Depends on how it will be applied on your needs and requirements.

I think a major benefit to 2008 is LINQ.

Im getting it atm. Will see how it runs on my laptop with xp and 1.5 ram

It installed for me on XP just fine.

I've been using it for all sorts of projects for the last few betas.

WPF is very cool and simple, but I don't see how I'll ever make use of it.

WCF doesn't serve much of a purpose for me atm, but I've still tinkered with it a bit.

LINQ is very very cool for a lot of things that were fucking nasty in the past.
::staring at Moose::

AJAX support in .NET is totally lame. jquery is totally sufficient for most ajax tasks.

Silverlight is awesome. I'm not one to call it either a Flash- or Java- killer, but for people that already know C#, it's pretty cool.


Also, I like some of the iface enhancements and bug fixes that drive me nuts in 2k5.

If you were using the WYSIWYG that's probably your biggest issue.

Just start with an Empty ASP.NET Project, write out a normal HTML page and add in the code as needed.


If you don't know ASP/VB/C#/.NET, that's a different sort of confusion. ;)
