Paul Andrew has a nice write up on the TechEd EMEA Keynote that Jason Zander did. One of the OUTSTANDING things that was shown is the SharePoint Tools component coming to Visual Studio. You can find his post at http://blogs.msdn.com/pandrew/archive/2008/11/10/visual-studio-2010-tools-for-sharepoint-announced-at-teched-emea-developers-2008.aspx, and a post on the SharePoint Team blog about the upcoming SPDisposeCheck tool at http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2008/11/12/announcing-spdisposecheck-tool-for-sharepoint-developers.aspx.
What does this mean? A much better development story for using SharePoint as a platform, that’s all! I’m really happy to see this much effort being done to raising the level of SharePoint integration into the common dev tools – it’s VERY welcome.
