Visual C++ Today and Tomorrow: Channel 9 Interview

How will VC++ evolve? How has the advent of managed code affected the evolutionary trajectory of VC++? What's the VC++ team up to these days, anyway? How much time are they spending innovating C++, the native language? Tune in and learn first-hand from two people who know the answers to the above questions (and much more); Steve Teixeira, Group Program Manager, and Bill Dunlap, Program Manager. If you want to know where Visual C++ is heading, then you definitely want to watch this interview. If you are a C++ developer, the message should be very loud and clear: Microsoft has not forgotten about you. Check out the C++ Team blog for more insight into the future of C++.

Another good resource: Visual C++ team’s Lead Program Manager, Tarek Madkour, wrote an interesting MSDN article, “An Inside Look At The Next Generation Of Visual C++”. This article discusses Visual Studio 2008 (codename Orcas) features:

• Targeting applications to Windows Vista
• Enhancements to MFC
• Preparing applications for User Account Control
• Marshaling native and CLR types
