Developers Corner by Chris Lawrence
Like any profession, we all need good tools to get the job done. As a developer myself and I'm sure I speak for all developers when I say this year’s excitement comes from Microsoft’s release of their new IDE, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
The smooth new look and feel of Visual Studio makes a developer's work a dream. With the new fast and powerful up to date intellisense and the ability to work locally with the development library crops wasted hours off development time and makes searching for those sparsely used functions ever so more accessible.
Another great feature is the inbuilt express edition of SQL server, saving the lonely programmer hours of downloading, installing and integrating with their code. Now, the benefits of even more efficient software development can be passed on to our customers via speed of delivery and technology capabilities. Thank you Microsoft you’ve done us proud!
