Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2008

One of the Most Effective Building and Developing Tools

Software development is a general term for any activities connected to building up software products. It may include research, new development, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance or any other activities that result in software products. On the other hand, between software developers, it also refers to the process of writing and maintaining the source code of the software.

Hence, every software developer uses a programming tool or software development tool to create, debug, maintain or otherwise support other software programs and applications. One very amazing software development tool is Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2008.

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2008 is a versatile software development tool because it has a comprehensive set of tools which accelerates the process of building the software into reality. It was engineered to support development of applications for Windows, the Web, the Microsoft Office system, the .NET Framework, SQL Server, and Windows Mobile.

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2008 allows developers to write code, find code, design your forms, document your applications, and review their quality much faster than any other development tool.

As a result, developers can build software applications demanded by today’s market. And,  at the same time, they save valuable time.

Our team has spoken to a few people who use Visual Studio Pro 2008 in their businesses and the uses are as fascinating as the software itself is.  For instance, Douglas Shedd of Executrol uses it for a very unique purpose.  He said:

“I do not develop websites.  I work for myself and develop industrial automation control systems.  My automation systems (primarily for the poultry processing industry) interface to PC’s for monitoring and data collection.”

“I use Visual Basic for those needs.  I am still what I would consider a novice at programming Visual Basic…it is such a powerful language.”

His business–Executrol Systems provides professional automation design and development services for systems and equipment used in manufacturing and processing plants. Automation aids in better quality control and accuracy of the process, improves productivity and cuts costs, and gives more visibility and timely information to management, enabling better decisions in managing your business.

“I have been a developer/programmer for over 40 years, but using other specialized languages.  I started using VB6 about 3 years ago and had to upgrade to VB.net to take over maintenance of some PDA software for barcode scanners for an inventory control system I had developed.”

Nick Spiers, of Web Station, Inc., who develops websites said, “I have been using Visual Studio for my entire programming career and the emergence of the 2008 edition came with great excitement.  Microsoft has eclipsed the IDE world with this software.   You can see the work we’ve done with VS08 by checking out our website portfolio.”

This tool rates high with all of the users we spoke to.  Here is what a few more people have to say about Visual Studio Pro 2008:
“I’ve been using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional for about 2 months. Its IDE works great for multiple languages like C++, C# and Visual Basic. The IntelliSense greatly improves coding and productivity when creating Applications. The automagic controls alignment makes forms editing and designing visually easier. In addition, there is a vast wealth of online help, content and code samples to help in creating new software.”

“Finally project conversions that are not from Hell. Visual Studio 2008 is the latest version of Visual Studio. Visual Studio is Microsoft’s primary IDE. It can be used to develop console applications, Graphical user interface applications, web sites, web applications, and web services in both native code as well as managed code for all platforms supported by Microsoft. It contains four major products Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual C#, Microsoft Visual Basic, and Microsoft Visual Web Developer. However, it is possible to integrate additional products like IronPython and IronRuby. I’ve integrated Microsoft Robotics Studio and the CCR (Concurrency and Coordination Runtime) libraries with my Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008.”

I did my homework for you and found the best place to purchase Visual Studio Pro 2008.  There were some prerequisites: the company had to have outstanding customer service, a good track record with shipping, save you money, and have an easy to use system for purchasing.  We found a company that met all of those requirements.

You will save over $400 on the software, too boot.  Yes, you read that correctly.  To find out more about what VS08 will do, follow this link.
