Wow, today is a big day because a few things were released…
The first piece of news is that Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 has been finalized and is available to download, it brings a bunch of new features including :
- TypeScript 1.0
- Universal Apps (for Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1, in XAML in HTML)
- A json editor
- Better LESS and new SASS support
- upgrades to Owin, ASP.NET identity and more !
Read the complete annoucement here!
Next up is a teaser of what is coming next in ASP.NET… there seems to be a reference to MVC hosted over OWIN… (that would make a few of my clients happy !!!) and something about nugetting the .net framework…. Read the announcement here at Scott Hanselman’s blog.
The last feature is something that is just awesome… Visual Studio can be used to author apps that are HTML based and that can be packaged to run using Cordova (server-less) on any platform (iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Phone…). That is great and I will have to make a few follow-up blog posts and how this stuff works. Get the preview and documentation here !
