As Jason Zander and the LightSwitch Team just announced, we released Visual Studio LightSwitch today, whoohooo! It's been a long, fun road to our final release and we are so excited to get this into your hands today! 

Visual Studio LightSwitch is the newest edition of the Visual Studio family and is the simplest way to build business applications for the desktop and the cloud. For the end-user developer this means you can quickly create professional quality business applications with minimal code. For the professional developer you can customize LightSwitch with your own code, controls and even build extensions that can add more capabilities than what you get out of the box. Check out the resources below for more information.
