Since I have finished the manuscript of my second book (Visual Basic Kooboek), I have some time to play around with some new stuff. For the book I added already a chapter dedicated to Visual Basic 2008. It contains some cool VB2008 recipes, coded in beta 2 of Visual Basic 2008 Express.  But today… I downloaded the iso-file of Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite… a download of 3921 Mb. The installation took a while, but succeeded without any hassle…  I am happy!

I can recommend you this upgrade. You’re still able to write .NET 2.0 applications, but you can use the new features en enhancements of the IDE. The Visual Basic team did an awesome job, by making our favorite language even better. Congratulations… you did great job!

If you are not so lucky that you can work with full Team System edition,  please download the free Visual Basic 2008 Express edition. Install it and learn that this great upgrade makes you more productive as ever before.
I’m planning to blog about the features of VB2008 in the near future. So stay tuned!
