Here is a library of over 10 hours of video tutorials on Visual Studio 2010. The collection consists of two video series. One video series is from the msdev.com website, and it is presented by Nancy Strickland. Nancy is a mentor at IT Mentors. The other series is from Learn Visual Studio, and it is presented by Bob Tabor. The Learn Visual Studio Series requires that you become a member in order to view those videos.

The secret name for Visual Studio 2010 is “Hawaii.” A CTP (Community Technology Preview) variant was released in 2008 as a already installed virtual hard disk. In May 2009, the VS 2010Beta 1 was released as an installable version, unlike the previous CTP variation that was preinstalled as a virtual hard disk.

The IDE for VS 2010 is supposed to reduce the complexity and clutter by providing better support for:

  • Floating tool windows
  • Multiple document windows
  • Multi-monitor support

The IDE has been rewritten in WPF and the internals have been redesigned using MEF (Managed Exensibility Framework). New additions to the programming languages include:

  • F# (multi-paradigm programming language ML)
  • M – textual modelling language
  • Quadrant (visual model designer)

Visual Studio 2010 will come with version 4.0 of the NET Framework and it will target developing applications for Windows 7. Silverlight is built into VS 2010 and there is improved support for parallel programming. Intellisense and search abilities have been much improved in the new variation.
