Many developers are looking forward to July’s Gamefest 2011 conference in London because of all the upcoming coverage and announcements regarding the Kinect sensor. Others, however, are more interested in a Microsoft session that will provide a glimpse of upcoming graphic tools for Visual Studio 2012.
Along with the Visual Studio Tools for Graphic Developers session, there will be an Agile C++ Game Development with Visual Studio session, a Modern C++ Programming with Visual Studio session, and a session on the Windows Live Server platform and HTTP and HTTPS communications to a web server. It will be interesting to see if Microsoft announces a change from the term “Xbox Live” to a just “Live”, something it has been hinting about recently.
