In this session, Amanda Silver took us on a rollercoaster ride through a number of features currently being worked on by the VS Team. She presented the investments they are making to increase development productivity, how they are bringing testing and code analysis even more deeply into the development “inner loop”, and highlighted new areas that they're working on to extend Visual Studio to new platforms and application categories. The demo-heavy session, was dedicated to our daily “8-hour product” we the developers work on.

We, the developers have to deal with bugs in the code, but do we really know how to use debugging tools available to us? This demo-driven .NET based session presented how to Super Charge Debugging to find and fix glitches faster. The demo toured most of the debugger,s highlighting the best tips and tricks, probably the most interesting demo for the day.
