TechEd Day One - Visual Studio 2008 Shell

  • Article

Just woken up after a great first day at Tech-Ed.  Excellent to see full houses and folks crammed in around the floor for the chalk talks on both Software Factories and Visual Studio Extensibility.

Also fantastic to finally get my hands on a paper copy of our book - makes all the tiring weekends seem worthwhile!

Today's really exiting news for DSLers as announced by Ken over on the VSX blog is the Visual Studio 2008 Shell. 

Our team's number one customer request has been to allow DSLs to be deployed in more flexible scenarios than just regular Visual Studio installations, especially to support folks being part of the design process who wouldn't as yet have been typical VS customers.

We very much hope that the new deployment options offered by the Visual Studio 2008 Shell will go a long way to addressing that customer need.
