At MIX11 last week, I presented the Script#: Compiling C# to JavaScript using Visual Studio . As full-fledged script-based development becomes widespread with the HTML5 wave, a couple set of interesting questions emerge - what are the development tools you and your team uses to productively author and manage a code base? Shouldn't you write code in a model that is optimized for development and productivity and let a compiler do its magic and produce code that is optimized for deployment and runtime?

Visual C++ Most Valuable Professionals (III)

Posted: 14 Apr 2011 09:00 AM PDT

This is the third and last part of our Channel 9 interviews to C++ Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs), made during a recent Summit at MS headquarters.

Meet Alon Fliess (Israel), Marius Bancila (Romania), Bruno Boucard (France) and Jim Beveridge (USA). They got the MVP distinction at different times (some really recently, some for a few years now) and it happened for very different community acknowledgements. Some write books, some others are passionate about helping others solve coding problems in forums, yet some others run C++ online communities, and so forth.

Hear their stories in Channel 9.
