If not, then happy holidays anyway from Diego, Charles, C9, and VC Smiley

We don't cover software testing—the job discipline—often enough on C9. We aim to change that starting now.

A friend of Diego's on the VC++ team, Raul Pérez, is a software developer from Puerto Rico who works in QA for the Visual C++ IDE team. He writes tests to make sure the very-front-end of the VC toolchain—the IDE and its design-time compiler infrastructure—works as expected.

There's a lot going on when you type characters into the VC++ editor. What happens, exactly? Why? What types of things can make Intellisense fast? What types of things can hinder the performance of the IDE? How does all of this magic happen? There's a compiler involved in all of this. It's not the front-end compiler (cl), but it is a front-end compiler and it compiles your source into data that's stored in a local DB for design-time use by Intellisense, Go-To-Definition, Syntax Coloring, Reference Highlighting, Auto-Completion, etc... All of these things are part of the set of IDE features that make Visual C++ visual... So, meet Raul and learn a thing or two about how the IDE works under the covers and how the system has evolved over time.

Scott takes us through the many new improvements to Dev 11 which include the next release of .NET 4.5. It is also side-by-side compatible with other releases of Visual Studio and its solution and project file compatible with older releases, making it easier for project sharing. Scott also discusses Windows Azure, its cadence of release as it is a service based, and the coming waves of innovation that we can expect in the near future. An awesome interview you don't want to miss!

In this episode of the AlignIT Manager Tech Talk, Ruth Morton and Jonathan Rozenblit chat with Sam Guckenheimer, the man who wrote the book on Agile and Visual Studio, about how development teams can optimize Application Lifecycle Management, utilize advanced methods to deliver higher-value software faster, and systematically eliminate waste and inefficiency throughout the entire development lifecycle.

They discuss the concepts in Sam's latest book, Agile Software Engineering with Visual Studio: From Concept to Continuous Feedback including, but not limited to:

  • Empowering and engaging multidisciplinary self-managing teams
  • Overcoming causes of software waste, missed schedules, and poor quality
  • Reengineering development to remove overhead: make individuals more productive and empower high-performance teams

  • ALM Webcast Series: Microsoft invites you to participate in a five part webcast series designed to help you explore opportunities to minimize development costs within tight timelines while remaining agile throughout software development and test cycles.
  • Managing Complexity with Process, People, and Tools: Development teams are constantly challenged to deliver highly secure, quality software in an environment of growing business demand and quick time-to-market. Development managers are taking a more holistic approach to software development to help create an efficient and effective development process.
  • Delivering High Quality Software Through Agile: Delivering high quality software is a risky undertaking. Development and Quality Assurance managers are in a tight partnership over the war against software bugs. Software quality issues not only delay the time to market for a solution while increasing costs, but they also delay the subsequent benefits to the business.
  • Unify Your ALM Platform: A shared collaboration infrastructure based on Visual Studio Team Foundation Server can help teams break down barriers and deliver value to the customer while leveraging earlier tool investments.

In this lesson we demonstrate the use of Enumerations because in the .NET Framework Class Library, properties can often be set only to a predetermined subset of possible values. To illustrate this point we create our own custom enumeration, then utilize it in a simple application that demonstrates a third Decision statement, the switch. We then demonstrate some Visual Studio IDE magic that automatically implements code blocks for all possible enumeration values.

In this lesson we explain how Namespaces allow us to disambiguate classes that may share the same name. Additionally, we explain how the .NET Framework Class Library is so large that including all its classes in every application you write is a waste of system resources. To mitigate that issue, the FCL is split into multiple assemblies (.dll files) that your project must include (or rather, reference) in order for them to be utilized in your applications. We discuss how certain project templates include references to the typical assemblies required by a given type of application (such as a web application), and we demonstrate this by referencing a custom assembly of my own design.

The hope is that by better understanding how classes work, you'll gain an appreciation for how classes are utilized in the .NET Framework Class Library (FCL). In the FCL, child classes often inherit basic functionality from their parent classes. In fact, all classes ultimately inherit from a single base class, System.Object. This lesson continues to teach concepts about classes (specifically, in this case, inheritance) by showing you how to utilize inheritance in your own custom classes. You'll learn about overriding virtual functionality, abstract base classes, sealed classes, and more.
