Emacs Emulation Extension Now Available
5.0/5 rating (1 votes)

This extension provides basic support for Emacs keybindings and text editing commands, very similar to the built-in Emacs keyboard layout in VS 2008.  Once the extension is installed you should be able to use familiar keyboard shortcuts to execute Emacs commands within VS 2010.

Installation and Setup

Installing Emacs Emulation requires Visual Studio 2010 Pro, Premium, or Ultimate (the Express editions do not support extensions) and a one-time elevation to administrator permissions.  This elevation is necessary to install the keybindings file in the Visual Studio Program Folder.  The first time you launch Visual Studio after downloading and installing the extension, you should see a permissions dialog, shown below.  Click OK and follow the system prompt to elevate.  This is only required once; subsequent launches of Visual Studio will not prompt for elevation.

How to Make Phone Calls From Inside Gmail
5.0/5 rating (1 votes)

Gmail voice and video chat makes it easy to stay in touch with friends and family using your computer’s microphone and speakers. But until now, this required both people to be at their computers, signed into Gmail at the same time. Given that most of us don’t spend all day in front of our computers, we thought, “wouldn’t it be nice if you could call people directly on their phones?”

Starting today, you can call any phone right from Gmail.

ASP.NET MVC 3 Preview
5.0/5 rating (2 votes)

ASP.NET MVC 3 Preview 1 provides a new Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework on top of the existing ASP.NET 4 runtime.
ASP.NET MVC 3 is a framework for developing highly testable and maintainable Web applications by leveraging the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. The framework encourages developers to maintain a clear separation of concerns among the responsibilities of the application – the UI logic using the view, user-input handling using the controller, and the domain logic using the model. ASP.NET MVC applications are easily testable using techniques such as test-driven development (TDD).
The installation package includes templates and tools for Visual Studio 2010 to increase productivity when writing ASP.NET MVC applications. For example, the Add View dialog box takes advantage of customizable code generation (T4) templates to generate a view based on a model object. The default project template allows the developer to automatically hook up a unit-test project that is associated with the ASP.NET MVC application.
Because the ASP.NET MVC framework is built on ASP.NET 4, developers can take advantage of existing ASP.NET features like authentication and authorization, profile settings, localization, and so on.
