Last week Microsoft announced the release of the tech preview of its Project Roslyn, which is the latest and greatest compiler from the Redmond company. Roslyn is a compiler of a different sort, and is known as a compiler-as-a-service.

Roslyn CTP is installed as an extension to Visual Studio 2010 SP1, and includes an early preview of the APIs exposed by the C# and Visual Basic compilers.
