Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Coming Soon: Visual Studio Achievements http://files.channel9.msdn.com/thumbnail/45465b7d-a017-4281-b244-ea026dc235a7.jpg Channel 9 - Coming Soon: Visual Studio Achievements We are going to be rolling out a new project soon called Visual Studio Achievements. With the Visual Studio Achievements add-in, your code will be monitored and, as you proceed, you will unlock various achievements based on your activity. When you unlock an achievement, Visual Studio will let you know visually with a pop-up. In addition, your Channel9 profile will be updated with any achievements you earn, also updating your rank on the leaderboard. You may see some updates to Channel9 as we begin rolling out the infrastructure for this service and do some additional testing.  Check back and soon you'll be able to download it and start earning achievements!   en Sun, 19 May 2013 10:56:09 GMT Sun, 19 May 2013 10:56:09 GMT Rev9 Re: Coming Soon: Visual Studio Achievements Almost thought it was April 1st. Actually could be pretty cool especially for people just learning the language features. "Congrats you are a delegate ninja" would be pretty cool.

Anyway of tying the achievements into job offers Smiley "These are the dorks you are looking for" Smiley

Yippee!" popups at khanacademy. But I think they went away since I've not seen them recently. Smiley

100 fields on a single class.
Use goto.
20 single-letter class level variables.
A single 300 character long line.

Achievements should be things to be proud of, not based on practices that would make other developers cringe.
