I started developing software in C language for the first time in my life and
then did use Java language especially in university times. Java, I used to write in notepad earlier days
and then compile and run the Program using the command line (“javac” for
compile and “java” for run the compiled program code).
But Java also has IDEs like NetBeens, Eclipse, JBuilder and
etc, but I quite used to write the Programs in Notepad and that made me so
competent in Java those daysJ.
After moving to Microsoft Technologies, life was so easy of using the Programming
Languages and Visual Studio is been providing numerous support for the
developers for past few years. And that’s a great thing and that will give lots
of time think about Program logics instead wasting lots of time learning the
Program languages.
Just think about, how Microsoft does this, these huge set of
features in Visual Studio?
They have been investing lots of money for this and it’s matured
a lot too. With Roslyn what Microsoft does is expose those implementations for outside
developers as APIs and so then they can use themselves those features in their
system implementations.
That’s a huge benefit,
because we were struggling lot in making things so dynamic in some business
scenarios and wanted generate, compile and run the code on the fly. Earlier we
did this with Code Dom library which is also delivered by Microsoft, but this
time it has more features than earlier. And the Project name is “Roslyn”. Enjoy
it.
