Hello World

  • Article

I was thinking on doing this during my first or second week at Microsoft but I just didn't manage it. As many new employees said before:
"It's like drinking from the firehose". Believe me, it is.

Since this is my first post to my new blog on MSDN let me introduce myself. My name is Peter Jausovec and I was born and raised in Slovenia. I got a job offer from Microsoft almost a year and a half ago, but I graduated in March this year and I relocated to Redmond in October (next week will be my third month anniversary as SDET here at Microsoft :)).

As you probably noticed in the blog description, this blog will be mainly about VSTO, SharePoint, Office development and other cool stuff
we are doing at Trinity team.

Visual Studio 2008 was released on November 19th and if you're an MSDN subscriber you can get your copy here. You can also download trial edition or Express Edition.

Here are some of the cool VSTO features in Visual Studio 2008 you should check out: 

  • ClickOnce based deployment (I had to put this one on the first place :))  
  • Ribbon Visual Designer
  • Outlook Form Regions
  • SharePoint Workflow
  • Word Content Controls
  • VBA-VSTO interop
