Visual Studio 2012 is jam-packed with so many new features and enhancements, it’s hard to figure out just where to begin. While this presentation will cover a lot of ground, there’s no need to fear ‘cuz we’re going to make this fun!

We’ll introduce you to a few of the new project types, and some neat features available in each product version. Then we’ll turn our attention to what’s new in Web Application and Web Service development.
