"Since releasing Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions we’ve seen more than 17 million downloads and we’ve continued to provide valuable resources for non-professional developers, such as the Beginner Developer Learning Center, which provides a variety of no-charge lessons and getting started videos to take the beginning developer from the basics to becoming a full-fledged developer," he added.
Visual Studio 2008’s general improvements to JavaScript coding (IntelliSense, syntax check, debugging) help with writing JavaScript code, Microsoft said in an accompanying announcement.
This dovetails well with the inclusion of the ASP.NET AJAX library to create a first-class experience for building next-generation Web applications, the company stated.
