I don't like being the type of blogger that writes a post that simply links to someone elses post. Today though, I'm doing just that because:
- I'm way too busy at the moment to write original content
- I just think this is awesome
If you're an ASP.NET developer and you're not already reading Scott Guthrie's blog, start. Seriously, go add the RSS feed to your reader right now.
His latest post on Visual Studio 2008 JavaScript Intellisense is great and very exciting if you're like me and don't particularly like writing javascript. I honestly never learned javascript as well as I should have and until recently have avoided it wherever possible. Now that AJAX has taken the dev world by storm, avoiding javascript is no longer really possible. Thankfully, VS2008 promises to make the learning curve a lot easier by providing the same type of helpful intellisense that we already know and love from writing .NET code.
It will work for in-line scripts as well as external .js files. Writing and debugging javascript is about to get a whole lot easier.
Nice reference. Thanks for pointing this one out.
If you like Javascript intellisense in VS 2008 Beta 1, I am sure you will like it better in Beta 2. Check out this blog for the enhancements in Beta 2: http://blogs.msdn.com/jscript/archive/2007/08/01/more-javascript-intellisense-with-visual-studio-2008-beta-2.aspx
