VS2010 and SharePoint

There are three sources for information which I have found valuable for VS2010:

• First is the video from PDC about a lap around VS2010: Great high level introduction to what it will be.
• Next is Willy’s series on VSTS 2010 which he just finished.
• Last is for the SharePoint people, is the InfoQ article on it: http://www.infoq.com/news/2008/11/wss_vs2010 – which had some serious highlights:
• "These tools will replace the much-derided SharePoint Designer”
• “Visual Studio will be able to building and debug SharePoint projects. "F5 Just Works!"”
• “A new Packaging Explorer will exist that supports editing Packaging and structuring the SharePoint Features and WSP file.”

Unfortunately the VS2010 bits we have available currently (if you want a copy let me know) includes everything from the video and Willy’s posts but does not include the WSS items. In fact the forthcoming CTP will not even include them :(
