The Discussion

Jon Davis "You can now change the Visual Studio menu bar to use camel case rather than all caps. [22:55]"
I'm sure they mean ProperCase, not caMel case. Hard enough to get co-workers to understand the difference, doesn't help when the tools vendor gets it wrong too :) Minor pet peeve that's ridiculous that I'm commenting on it but hey it's an open comment thread so here I go yay... -
rogreen @Jon Davis: Thanks for pointing that out Jon. I changed this to say proper case. :)

Code Monkey In the future, please avoid using VB (bleh) in you demos. Thanks!
-
IlijaInjac Great show as always :) My favorite is the new multi-monitor debugging thing for store apps. Was very annoying to have this auto-switches between the app and VS.
-
Richard @rogreen If we're going to get picky, technically they said "mixed case" :)
-
rogreen @Richard: I love getting picky.I constantly point out typos and all kinds of grammar errors, much to the eye rolling of my wife and friends. :) I have now changed this to mixed case (which is what Brian Harry called it in his blog).
-
rogreen @rogreen: While we are on the subject of being picky, let me be picky about something else I said. I said that Visual Studio Online and the new Azure Portal will be merged and are going to combine. I was not making a global statement. I meant it in the context of that particular scenario (Application Insights). The Azure preview portal brings together many services, both from Microsoft (including VS Online) and other providers to produce a more connected experience. Check it out and let us know what you think.

rwjdk You should really remember to point out that a feature like CodeLens is a VS2013 Ultimate only feature... Aka not a feature 99% of your users can benefit from :(
