Visual Studio 2013: New IDE and Editor Features

Visual Studio 2013 provides innovative features for greater developer productivity. OK, that sounds a little cliché since it has been said about every version of Visual Studio … But 2013 does have some awesome features! We’ll start with a look at the IDE, including Synchronized Settings, Feedback options, and Notifications. As developers, we spend the majority of our time with Visual Studio in a Code Editor. So the majority of the talk will cover the new Code Editor features. We’ll look at Peek Definition, the very cool new Enhanced Scrollbar, the updated Navigate to (Ctrl+Comma), and of course the CodeLens.
Then we’ll look at the many new features in some of the specialized editors, like the updated IntelliSense and Go To Definition in the XAML and HTML editors. Come learn how you can get the most from these new tools and features in Visual Studio 2013!
