Firstly, thanks for signing up for the beta of Visual Node, and trying out the tool. Your feedback has been incredibly helpful to us.
Today we have a very exciting announcement for you. Since the summer Red Gate has been working with Microsoft on a free, open source Node development environment for Visual Studio called Node Tools for Visual Studio (NTVS). We've just released the first public alpha of NTVS, which you can download from:
https://nodejstools.codeplex.com/
NTVS offers what we believe is a much richer development experience than Visual Node, including:
-
Various Node project types,
-
IntelliSense and editing,
-
Debugging, including remote debugging on Linux,
-
Profiling,
-
npm,
-
Azure deployment,
-
Support for both Visual Studio 2012 and 2013
In addition you can create NTVS projects based on existing code, making it easy to upgrade from Visual Node to NTVS. Please see https://www.simple-talk.com/blogs/2013/11/22/node-js-development-in-visual-studio-life-after-visual-node-with-node-tools-for-visual-studio/ for more information.
If you have any feedback we'd love to hear from you. You can report bugs or improvement requests at https://nodejstools.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic, whilst support and general feedback/discussion is available at https://nodejstools.codeplex.com/discussions. Please do vote on the bugs/improvements you'd most like us to work on.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you again for participating in the Visual Node beta program. As I said, your feedback has been very helpful, and continues to influence the development of NTVS.
If you have any questions about anything in this email please do post to the discussion URL on Codeplex - we'd love to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Bart Read
