Visual Studio 2008: LAUNCH

This moment maybe the most i waiting for. I'm a VB 6 maniac, and when VS 2003 Launch, I never touch it. Cos I think VB 6 is more efficiency than VS 2003.

But, When Microsoft Launch VS 2005, I a little bit leaving VB 6, why?

VS 2005 provide more simple for developer to more concentrate in their business rules not their code or syntax.

because in the VS 2005, every standard code is more easier to use. example: we can use gridview to preview data from SQL Server by using their wizards, compared with VB 6 when we setup datagrid to preview data.

not only the wizards make us comfort, we can use the wizards to update, delete, and insert. we just only need to setup and write a little code on it.

and then what make VS 2008 more than VS 2005. if you have attend Microsoft Server Wave 2008: Launch (only in Indonesia), you will see the different between VS 2005 and VS 2008.

The technology from VS 2008 is MVC, Silverlight, LinQ and much more.. And for the first time since VB 6, I have motivated by VS 2008 for learning it.

from now on, this blog will be the witness of my journey to learn VS 2008. but, don't worry, this blog still posting the VB 6 and it's friends (SQL Query, CRYSTAL REPORT) if I got something interesting case with it.

so, don't scare to move from VB 6 to VS 2008.

Question: Can I learn the VS 2008 directly if I from VB 6? the answer is YES. :)

Enjoy it...
