TailSpin Travel – Now Boarding! Your Personal Tour of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0

During Bob Muglia’s keynote at the PDC last week, Cameron Skinner from the Visual Studio team, presented a demo focused on some of the most exciting new features coming in Visual Studio 2010, .NET Framework 4, and the server platform.

The demo was built to align with the following release announcements: ASP.NET MVC 2 beta, Windows Identity Foundation RTM,  and the beta of the new Windows Server AppFabric.

The Tailspin Travel application covers a pretty substantial set of functionality, but ultimately seeks to provide a holistic perspective of how Visual Studio 2010, .NET Framework 4, and the server platform can be used together. The following is a list of the exact features that are shown in the application:

Visual Studio 2010   1. Assembly Dependency Graph 2. Multi-monitor 3. Navigate To 4. IntelliTrace 5. WF Designer 6. MSDeploy 7. Coded-UI Tests

Framework   1. ASP.NET MVC 2 2. Windows Identity Foundation 3. WF 4. WCF 5. Entity Framework

Server Platform   1. Windows Server AppFabric a. Service Hosting b. Workflow Hosting c. Cache 2. SQL Server 2008 R2 a. DAC

You can now download the Tailspin Travel application from Codeplex (http://tailspintravel.codeplex.com). In addition to the feature use cases that were presented in the demo, the released version of Tailspin contains many additional scenarios to help developers see a broader view of possibilities with the respective technologies.
