Where, oh where, have my Blueprints gone?
Recently posted on MSDN.
And on Michael Lehman’s blog.
(Recently being May. Where the heck have I been?)
I am so happy to that the Blueprints (or whatever they will be called next) aren’t completely dead. I may have uttered a few obscenities (and thrown squishy objects) when the Codeplex site bit the dust.
Anyone who works in support knows the day-in/day-out frustrations of not being able to get the message across to people, and Blueprints was surely making that easier for programming concepts. We’ll take all the help we can get, especially if it’s something cool and automated.
My only fear now is that Michael says he’s working closely with the Visual Studio team. Does that mean the next incarnation of guidance tools will be built into VS2010, leaving all my VS08 customers behind?
Good luck, Michael – I’ll be first in line when the new Blueprints are released… or I’ll be two months late. Either way, I’ll be shouting from the rooftops when I get to use them again.
