                  Guide to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0
                  Michael K. Campbell

                  It feels as if Visual Studio 2008 has only been out for a few 
months, but I've actually been using it for almost a year-and-a-half now. This 
means that it comes as no surprise that Microsoft has just released a public 
beta of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework (FX) 4.0. Sadly, as with most new 
releases, there are entirely too many improvements, changes, and facets to 
easily cover in a single briefing, but what follows is a quick round-up of some 
of the changes and developments that you may be interested in.

                  TechEd 2009: An Awarding Experience for Developer Products 
                  from Sheila Molnar's blog

                  A good number of the winners of the Best of TechEd 2009 
awards sponsored by Microsoft and Windows IT Pro and SQL Server Magazines were 
companies with a developer focus. In a year where attendance at TechEd was 
down-I heard estimates that varied between 4500 and 5000 attendees-this was 
good news for developers and the vendors that serve them. Traditionally, TechEd 
has been an IT-Pro-focused conference, with developer products and sessions 
making strong inroads, including a well-attended separate show last year. 
However, recession-deflated travel budgets cut into the developer presence at 
TechEd this year. If companies are going to fund travel, they may be saving 
some of those tight dollars to send developers to the Professional Developers 
Conference (PDC) later in the year (November 17-21) in Los Angeles. Most of the 
developer vendors I spoke with plan to be at both TechEd and PDC this year. 

                  When you brush away all the fun stuff such as goofy swag, 
booth games, and all those shiny give-aways, it's always good to be reminded 
that behind and within the flash of the sales floor are some of the brightest 
entrepreneurs in any industry. Microsoft can take products only so far; these 
vendors and partners are the ones who understand what still remains to be done, 
capitalize on it, and create products that make life easier for the technical 
professionals who need them on a daily basis.

                  Visual Studio Security Tool Released
                  from Caroline Marwitz's blog

                  Microsoft recently released a new security tool for Visual 
Studio Team System that aims to help developers create more secure code. The 
Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) Process Template integrates SDL process 
guidelines into VS to help developers create code that's both secure and 
privacy-enhanced. For developers not running VS, Microsoft also announced SDL 
4.1, which updates SDL documentation and provides guidelines and best 
practices.
