It’s been an incredible year for the data business at Microsoft and an incredible year for data across the industry. This Thursday at our Data Driven event in New York, we will kick off a wave of launch activities for SQL Server 2016 with general availability later this year.

Throughout history, the ability to simulate has aided the development of multiple sciences. Medical models simulating the human body enhance the study of human anatomy. Computer simulation games such as “World of Warcraft” recreate an entire fantasy world and “Flight Simulator” helps train pilots on the ground. Various simulation programs explore responses to terrorist attacks, pandemic diseases and other possible crises. Even the simulated dinosaurs in the film “Jurassic Park” hint at the broad application of simulation and its potential.by bill-s, 2016-03-05T19:52:44.000Z

Last month <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2016/02/11/find-your-favorite-visual-studio-extension/">I showed you a few of my favorite Visual Studio extensions</a> that give great examples of how developers add new features to Visual Studio. With such a vibrant ecosystem around Visual Studio, new extensions are added almost every day—in fact, over 135 new extensions have been added to the <a href="https://microsoft.sharepoint.com/teams/dd_vsblog/Blog%20Post%20Drafts/visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com">Visual Studio Gallery</a> already in 2016!by bill-s, 2016-03-05T20:12:13.000Z

In an <a href="https://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2016/02/01/asynchronous-processes.aspx" target="_blank">earlier column</a>, I discussed how creating an application as a set of cooperating, asynchronous processes can actually simplify your application while giving you all the benefits of asynchronous processing (a more responsive application, related processes that deal well with different processing speeds, plus exploiting multi-core processors). The trick is to divide your application into producers (processes that gather data) and consumers (processes that do something with that data) joined together by some asynchronous pipeline.by bill-s, 2016-03-05T01:02:23.000Z

Despite our best efforts to write code that works correctly the first time, the reality is that as developers, we spend a lot of time debugging. Visual Studio 2015 brought new functionality and improvements to help developers identify issues earlier in the development cycle, as well as improving the ability to find and fix bugs. In this article, I’ll review the improvements added to Visual Studio 2015 for both .NET and C++ developers.by bill-s, 2016-03-05T19:49:17.000Z
