Visual Studio Live! speaker Vishwas Lele discusses how the new, tighter integration between Visual Studio and Windows Azure can make developers more productive.
Posted on 08/21/2013
At this week's Microsoft Ignite conference, the Visual Studio team showed off a future AI-powered IDE that will leverage GitHub Copilot for legacy app .NET upgrades, along with several more cutting-edge features.
Eschewing the term "Copilot," Microsoft introduced a new AI-powered tool for PowerShell called "AI Shell," available in preview.
GitHub says new research proves its Copilot AI tool can improve code quality, following earlier reports that said it boosts developer productivity -- and has a retort for contrarian studies.
The brand-new Visual Studio 2022 v17.12 lets devs specify the AI model they want to use with the baked-in GitHub Copilot, but some are clamoring for more options, such as the latest/greatest Claude 3.5 Sonnet model from Anthropic that is available in VS Code.
Microsoft's early embrace of advanced AI in its dev tooling continues apace with the new public preview of SQL database in Microsoft Fabric, the company's analytics/data platform.
