Microsoft Research makes Touch Develop open source
Touch Develop is a tool developed by Microsoft Research that allows developers to build mobile apps, games and websites in a browser. As of this week it is now open source on Git! The TouchDevelop project was inspired by the programmability of 8-bit computers of the 80s that introduced many of us to the power of programming. TouchDevelop brings that magic to modern touch-based devices.

Visual Studio Tip: Fast Select and Edit
Like many coders, Susan spent a lot of time cutting, copying, pasting, and moving code. So the ability to quickly select the code I want helps me code more efficiently. In this video, she shares a couple of keyboard shortcuts that can help you select exactly the code you want with the mouse or the keyboard.
Visual Studio Tip: How do I request a new feature in Visual Studio?
I frequently get comments on my blog posts or videos asking "Why doesn't Visual Studio do ?" In this video I will show you two easy ways you can provide feedback directly to the Visual Studio team!

Visual Studio Tip: Customizing Search Output in Visual Studio
When you do a Find in Files (CTRL+SHIFT+F), by default the output displays the file path which can fill up the results window. Did you know you can use a registry key to customize the output of your search?
Visual Studio Tip: Dude, Where's My File?
By default, the file path for Visual Studio projects is very long. When you want to access a subfolder or file in your project from Windows Explorer or reference the file path in your code, you can find yourself navigating up and down folders trying to find the file locations. Did you know you can right click on the tab in the code editor window to access the file path or to open the folder in Windows Explorer? Check it out.
Visual Studio Tip: Where Does the Open Brace Go?
Want to start a fight between two coders? Ask them if the open brace goes on a new line or at the end of the method declaration! Luckily you can set up Visual Studio to put the brace in whichever location YOU prefer. Go to Quick Launch and type in "format" you will find lots of great options to control how your code is formatted by default in Visual Studio. Once you have the settings the way you want them, just use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+K+D to reformat any existing code.
Visual Studio Tip: Lazy Code Snippets
You have probably discovered code snippets and you may even know you can create your own code snippets. But, I have a confession to make, I am lazy. I usually can't be bothered to define the xml to create my own snippets. That's why I love using the Toolbox! You can just drag code from the code editor into the Toolbox. Then the next time you need it, just drag it back to the code editor!
Visual Studio Tip: Faster than CTRL+X, CTRL+V
Glad it's helpful. Do let me know if you have discovered any great tips I should share in future videos!As for the VS2012 vs VS2013... I promise not all the tips will be VS2013 only, though this one happens to be a new feature in VS2013. Even if you work somewhere that only has 2012, you can always explore VS2013 with the express version, or try it on a VM, there is actually a VM in the Azure VM gallery with the CTP of the latest Visual Studio!
