Visual Studio LightSwitch 2011 released!

26. July 2011 in .NET, Delphi, DelphiExperts, Developer Experts, Prism by holger | View Comments

Just a quick note… Visual Studio LightSwitch 2011 has been released officially! I have been using Beta 2 on a regular basis and it was already as stable and reliable as a full product. I am expecting the RTM version to be even better and to offer even more great features.

LightSwitch is a great tool to build business applications as it allows you to build a conceptual data model and a user interface. All the in-between plumbing is being taken care of by LightSwitch. A prototype is built pretty quickly and the framework allows for a great deal of customization if one wants to. You can write code at all sort of places so that you do not even recognize that it is a LightSwitch app.

And the best thing… you develop one app and you can deploy it to the web, to the desktop and into the cloud!

I just read a paper written by Per Brinch Hansen. He is most commonly known in the IT world for his papers on concurrent programming theory. Actually, I wanted to formally read into Remote Procedure Calls and that is how I found his theories.

Interestingly, he wrote in 1993 to C.A.R. Hoare:

The 1980s will probably be remembered as the decade in which programmers took a gigantic step backwards… Continue reading
