Take WebMatrix 3 out for a spin, and build some cool stuff along the way.

New programming languages and frameworks are being introduced at a dizzying pace, and our tools just aren't keeping up.   WebMatrix, like other tools, provides the features we expect:  a great code editor, HTML5 & CSS3 code hinting, and server side language scripting support.  Now, we're trying to solve a new set of problems:  advanced tooling for Node, Mustache, LESS, and CoffeeScript.  We're thinking about better Git integration, database management, and publishing tools.  We're building tools to make it easy to move into the cloud.  Please join us as we take WebMatrix 3 out for a spin, and build some cool stuff along the way.
