Boris Jabes on Game Development and Other Demons

Posted: 22 Apr 2011 02:56 PM PDT

Charles TorreHi, I'm Charles Torre, Sr. Technographer with Channel 9.

I recently interviewed Boris Jabes, a fun Visual C++ Program Manager guy to talk to. After a brief discussion of IntelliSense in VC++ –Boris has the distinction of being the first guy to share the news about the removal of C++/CLI IntelliSense support in VC10, we move on to exploring game development in C++ and potential directions VC may take to make it easier to build high-performing, graphically rich games.

This is one of the typically open-minded-with-candor conversations with the C++ team that have become the norm here on Channel 9 lately. True Channel 9 Old School. Much thanks to the VC++ team for being so open and helpful, and for truly listening to what the VC++ community wants and needs.

Enjoy!
