Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================


The tricks are done and the treats are now available. Visual Studio 2005 and
SQL Server 2005 are set to officially launch next Monday. If you are an MSDN
subscriber, then you already have access to the final bits if you don’t mind
downloading them off the MSDN site.


Also releasing are a number of third party products and add-ins for Visual
Studio 2005. You can expect to see lots of new products and opportunities
over the coming weeks and months.


You can also expect to see lots of additional articles. With the products now
available, I thought it worth while to list some of the articles that are
already available on Codeguru. This list contains just a few of the articles
related to Visual Studio 2005, ASP.NET 2.0, and the new versions of the
languages:
