2nd day since I arrived at KL and still experiencing jet lag. So blogging is a good activity when I wake up early in the morning. All in all the trip was good as I learnt a lot of new stuff on SharePoint vNext and also met some cool people like Joel Olson, Lisa Feigenbaum, Doug Mahugh, Bob Fox and the list goes on. As any huge conference, people will get motivated by the sheer amount of talents in the summit and come back fully charged to do something great for the community.
If you want to read about what I learnt in MVP Summit and I have to say sorry because all the stuff shown in the summit are under NDA! As usual the Office + SharePoint team is very tight lip about their product development schedule and you see little info in the web. But as SharePoint developer and you are wondering what is in store for you in vNext of Visual Studio (aka VS 2010) then you should check out Somasegar’s blog post here about new SharePoint Tools feature that come out of the box with Visual Studio 2010.
Besides from you will be able to quickly navigate and browse your Sharepoint site directly in Visual Studio with use the Server Explorer; the new Visual Studio 2010 designers can be used to create Web Parts, application pages, and user controls for a SharePoint site. You got to check out the screenshots in the post here.
