The ramblings of a yorkshire tyke

The last couple of weeks have been very busy and it has unfortunately affected the amount of blog entries I have done but the good news I have plenty of new material..

So, what’s my excuse.. Well we have been counting down the internal builds of Visual COBOL and we are pretty much ready to ship which is a relief since we are going to launching it at the Microsoft’s Visual Studio launch parties in Las Vegas and TechEd in Bangalore April 12-14.

Personally for me I am quite excited because I will be going to Teched in Bangalore to help show off Visual COBOL.

If would like a look at some of the Visual Studio 2010 integration Micro Focus has is about to release, pop along to http://vs2010.microfocus.com/ and see for yourself. Better still, have a visit to teched

I will finish the silly little blog with a link to a demo of Visual COBOL. Just because I’m proud of it…

My boss (Mark Conway) the other day was lucky enough to demonstrate some of the wonders of next release at TechEd 2009 in the keynote with Jazon Zander’s entitled: “Visual Studio 2010: New Challenges, New Solutions”

The demo shows off some of the nice features of Visual Studio 2010 and how we looking to use it for COBOL. I think it looks great!
