As you’ve probably noticed, Visual Studio 2017 was released
on Tuesday. Excitement has been mounting since the release candidate came out
in November, and the final version is finally here. We at Syncfusion have been
jumping up and down—usually figuratively, but sometimes literally—with
anticipation because we’ve been wanting to share that we’re SIM-SHIPPING
Essential Studio 2017 Volume 1 with Visual Studio 2017!
Oh yes, that’s 800+ Essential Studio components and
frameworks fully compatible with VS2017, all for your seamless developing
convenience. You are very welcome.
We were so excited about sim-shipping we had to throw an
early party for Visual Studio 2017 and keep it secret until now. After all,
it’s not every year you turn 20 and become a brand new version of yourself. We
strongly felt this deserved cake.
The calm before cake
time.
Games, balloons, and
cake. We definitely brought our happy faces. And a few spares.
We also helped others celebrate. On the launch date,
Syncfusion sponsored lunch for TRINUG, the
Triangle .NET User Group, as they watched the launch video cast live. This was
followed by cake and avid discussion of Visual Studio 2017’s new features and
improvements.
TriNug's VS 2017
event, complete with drinks and Syncfusion swag.
We had fun livestreaming the launch on our Facebook
page and tweeting
about it, too!
And of course, because it’s what we do, we have already
released an e-book to help you out with VS 2017. Check out Alessandro Del
Sole’s Visual Studio 2017 Succinctly to
quickly learn what’s been updated and how to use this release’s new features.
