This is not a review of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional, but a note to students that I thought they should know about.
Finally project conversions that are not from Hell
Visual Studio 2008 is the latest version of Visual Studio. Visual Studio is Microsoft's primary IDE. It can be used to develop console applications, Graphical user interface applications, web sites, web applications, and web services in both native code as well as managed code for all platforms supported by Microsoft. It contains four major products Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual C#, Microsoft Visual Basic, and Microsoft Visual Web Developer. However, it is possible to integrate additional products like IronPython and IronRuby. I've integrated Microsoft Robotics Studio and the CCR (Concurrency and Coordination Runtime) libraries with my Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 (I also enhanced Visual Studio 2005 by downloading .Net ...

Microsoft is the best of the best of the best.
I've been using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional for about 2 months. Its IDE works great for multiple languages like C++, C# and Visual Basic. The IntelliSense greatly improves coding and productivity when creating Applications. The automagic controls alignment makes forms editing and designing visually easier. In addition, there is a vast wealth of online help, content and code samples to help in creating new software.
I love VS 2008
OK, I downloaded the 90 day trial from Microsoft originally. There are some advantages to this software that I love. I love the split panel for web development, code formatting on HTML (I think this might have been a feature in 2005, but I can't remember). All around, this is a really good release of visual studio. However, there is one thing I would like to say. This is a professional development product. Do not buy this if you are trying to learn C# of VB, just get the express product. However, if you are looking to purchase this, something tells me that you have drank the Kool-Aid.
Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition
Microsoft has done it again!
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional is well worth the money, of course you may want to wait a few years to buy it, wait until the next version comes out. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional offers a wide area of programming languages and aspects that offer from basic C, all the way up to the big web design! I personally use this program for website design, but of course on my spare time, I fool around with working with some small applications here and there. If you are considering to start a programming career building small applications and dispersing them out to people AKA open source, or even develope applications for your business to use, if you become tired of using someone elses programs! Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional is well worth it, but beware try out the ... Read More
