Hi all

From time to time I?ve wondered about the proper use of attributes versus properties, and sometimes I have looked to find a guideline but with little luck. So - nearly always ? I end up defining properties as these are so easy to implement.

Today I searched again, as I for a project really need to have this settled. I found this blog entry by Eric Lippert which makes good sense to me:

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericlippert/archive/2009/02/02/properties-vs-attributes.aspx

In short he states:

    Use attributes to describe your mechanisms, use properties to model the domain.

As always, nothing is black/white, and ?everything depends?, and specific conditions may make you derive from this - but, at least as a starting point, do you find this statement true? Or do you stick to other guidelines?

Premium & Ultimate now combined into Enterprise.  New Enterprise license is
$6000 - less than half of Ultimate.  And if this matters to you then you're
doing well!  Looks like Pro price is unchanged.

 

Several features previously limited to  Premium and Ultimate are now in
Community and Professional.  Such as: CodeLens, Dependency Graphs (read

Hi Shamil:

TypeScript always looked like a better solution, than Dart, as it didn't stray to far from its JS roots and as far as I can see, especially for input fields, Angular, is unchallenged.

Hi all 

Today I attended a lecture by Anders Hejlsberg - you know, the man behind Turbo Pascal, Delphi, C#, and now TypeScript. A free event not to miss. 

Code-wise it was a beginner's course, which felt a bit strange, but - as you can imagine - he quickly managed to give it a much broader perspective and, indeed, a good understanding of the background for "why TypeScript?". 

Very inspiring, and should you be in doubt, this is hot. I should add, that if you today program in Javascript (I see all hands) you should at once turn to TypeScript. The well-known arguments - which he brightly demonstrated the value of - are classes, strong typing, and - because of the strong typing - IntelliSense. Even then it compiles to pure non-expanded Javascript. It is so clever: 

http://www.typescriptlang.org/ 

It is open-source and expanding at high speed: 

https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/ 

In addition to Visual Studio, a range of other editors are at hand. For much of the demo he used Sublime Text: 

http://www.sublimetext.com/ 

which has the special feature that it can show - in real time a split-pane window with TypeScript at left and the resulting Javascript at right. It is not free but worth considering at USD 70 if you plan to typescript a lot. It runs on all relevant platforms.

Hi all

Note that VS now also seems to be prominent tool for node.js:

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2015/03/25/node-js-tools-1-0-for-visual-studio.aspx

I must admit that I haven't paid much attention to node.js but I will now.

Anders Hejlsberg used it exclusively as the local server during his presentation. It was amazing what a few lines of code could do.

To all,

Been working on project for a few weeks now, all presentations from my
laptop and on other in-house laptops worked fine, however went to branch
yesterday for a demo and forms are too big for the maximum screen
resolution they have...Now I think I am going blind, I can see some code
for changing the form size, but not all the controls etc....Can anyone
point me in the right direction please.

Thank you in advance for any help on this.

?Hi Paul


If this is a winform application, you should have properties Size.Height and Size.Height for most controls in the properties' pane.

If you mean the code, it is in the FormName.Designer module in the region:


    Windows Form Designer generated code.


like:


    button1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23)


But does the client really have smaller screens than all of yours laptops?

Gustav,

They don't have smaller screens, but very limited screen resolution....i.e.
I have been developing with a screen resolution of 1280x1024.....which is
common on most machines in our head office, however the branches maximum
resolution in their display settings are 1280x800 so the bottoms of the
forms are sometimes off the screen....now I could quickly redevelop in
1280x800 but I just have the feeling that all branches will not be the
same, so I wanted to put some auto code in the application to look at the
current screen resolution and resize all forms and controls.

I find this an interesting discussion because it involves several somewhat
sensitive subjects. Obviously no sensible corporation or branch of
government would mandate a screen resolution. On the other hand, how is the
developer to cope with this?

One approach is to code for the minimal resolution, and perhaps to add code
that detects higher resolutions.

That approach has extended into the world of smart-phones and tablets; and
one response to this problem has been "responsive apps", which auto-detect
the platform's capabilities (touch-aware or just mouse and keyboard), and
change their behaviour and screen layout to suit the instance.

It extends further: suppose the user is blind and needs audio-assistance.
Do we build that into the UI? I guess that depends on the size of the
potential user base. Maybe if the client is a large
state/province/canton/principality, then it may make sense to include this
in the budget, but for your average Mon 'n' Pop it may be overkill.

I confess that in my ~30 years of app-development, this has never come up.
But a couple of sort-of related episodes did, and these involved users
suffering from cerebral palsy. This resulted in a radically retuned
approach to user-training, and also serious UI changes to make every
command available without serious contortions as pressing three keys at
once (Ctrl-Shift-Insert, for example).

I have painted the landscape for this question, which I do truly regard as
serious, and I wish to inquire a) whether you've faced this problem; b) how
you negotiated the extra costs, and c) how you dealt with the problem and
delivered a workable solution. Oh yes, maybe there's a d) assuming c), in
which you dealt with the situation and delivered a successful solution, did
this increase your creds in these environments (i.e. word got around that
your firm could handle this stuff)?

Just curious.

Hi Arthur:

I think all new applications have to be able to run on multiple platforms, be gesture sensitive and be able to adapt to multiple screen sizes and resolutions.

When I was working full-time, on web development, I would always charged extra if the client wanted the application to be IE compatible as such compatibility could double UI development times. 

Just ask the clients if the want certain features, at the beginning of a project and just charge appropriately...as always, client's hate surprise out-of-scope add-ins during a contract.

Hi Gustav:

About time...:-)

There is of course one of the best JS/NodeJS editors for $99.00 called Webstorm: http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm
...and then the editor which is claimed to be the best JS/NodeJS, with a full debugger, in the business, Komodo at $245.00:
http://komodoide.com

Then a full Cloud based JS/NodeJS editor and debugging environment, costing from $9.00 to $79.99  https://c9.io/web/site/pricing
Sublime text editor is definitely one of the best all around editors, at $70.00: http://www.sublimetext.com

PS How much does VS extra NodeJS feature cost?

Jim

Hi all

Note that VS now also seems to be prominent tool for node.js:

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2015/03/25/node-js-tools-1-0-for-visual-studio.aspx

I must admit that I haven't paid much attention to node.js but I will now.

Anders Hejlsberg used it exclusively as the local server during his presentation. It was amazing what a few lines of code could do.

Hi all

Today I attended a lecture by Anders Hejlsberg - you know, the man behind Turbo Pascal, Delphi, C#, and now TypeScript. A free event not to miss.

Code-wise it was a beginner's course, which felt a bit strange, but - as you can imagine - he quickly managed to give it a much broader perspective and, indeed, a good understanding of the background for "why TypeScript?".

Very inspiring, and should you be in doubt, this is hot. I should add, that if you today program in Javascript (I see all hands) you should at once turn to TypeScript. The well-known arguments - which he brightly demonstrated the value of - are classes, strong typing, and - because of the strong typing - IntelliSense. Even then it compiles to pure non-expanded Javascript. It is so clever:

http://www.typescriptlang.org/

It is open-source and expanding at high speed:

https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/

In addition to Visual Studio, a range of other editors are at hand. For much of the demo he used Sublime Text:

http://www.sublimetext.com/

which has the special feature that it can show - in real time a split-pane window with TypeScript at left and the resulting Javascript at right. It is not free but worth considering at USD 70 if you plan to typescript a lot. It runs on all relevant platforms.

Hi Jim

Well - to quote the very first paragraph:

<quote>
Node.js Tools 1.0 for Visual Studio (NTVS) is now available for download! NTVS is a free, open source extension for Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2013 that turns Visual Studio into a Node.js IDE. NTVS 1.0 supports the free Visual Studio Community and Visual Studio Express for Web editions, as well as Visual Studio Professional and higher.
</quote>

So before spending money, I would see what VS Community Edition + NTVS could do for me.

Thanks for all the nice links.

??Hi Charlotte


I was reluctant to spend money on expensive third-party report designers as VS comes with a quite capable reportdesigner.


The problem is to get started, because you instinctively assume it might behave just a little like your well-known designer in Access. But it doesn't; it is upside-down. However, there is a deep logic behind this, and when you grasp this, it is a wonderful designer. I have done some quite extensive reports generating hundreds of pages with pictures and critical formatting and met zero issues. But, as said, it is different.


These days, a lot of tutorials must exist out there. I have previously posted a link for a very good starting point. Sadly, it seems not to be updated, but the basics are still valid:


    http://gotreportviewer.com/


Also, don't miss Shamil's old Northwind.NET project which aimed at cloning the user experience 100%:


    http://northwind.codeplex.com


All reports - some created by me - were created with the native report designer of Visual Studio at zero cost.


These links could also be of value:


    ReportViewer Web Server and Windows Forms Controls

    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251771(v=vs.120).aspx


If you use SQL Server (including Express version, though with a few limitations), you can even choose to have the reports generated either at the database server or in Local Mode:


    Using the ASP.NET 2.0 ReportViewer in Local Mode
    http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/15597/Using-the-ASP-NET-2-0-ReportViewer-in-Local-Mode


I haven't used this, so I can't tell how well it performs.

Hi Charlotte,

 

This is an example of code behind a form which contains a ReportViewer.  Once you begin learning how to use reports in VS, refer back to this code.  This is some very hard-earned experience! ;-)

 

I?m showing how to pass information to the report form from the calling procedure, and that one form can be designed to display as many different reports as you wish (assuming they all have the same exterior dimensions, i.e., Portrait, Landscape, etc).

 

I use LinqToSQL queries as the data access method.  The two variables which begin with ?LQ? are those queries.  Of course, you can set up the DataSource with other methods also.

 

Good Luck!

Dan

 Hi Paul --

I'm assuming you're asking about .NET WinForms.
The P.S. code I have "cooked" here should make the trick for your case.
But I must note (next time) you'd better try to design your forms based on lowest possible width and height values and use Dock and Anchor standard properties to automatically handle form's and controls' resizing/enlarging.
See also: ? http://tinyurl.com/q3365r8

I, personally, have never used custom .NET WinForms forms' ?resizing functionality during my 10+ years of .NET programming practice.

Thank you.

-- Shamil

P.S.

1. Create?WindowsFormsApplication1 in Visual Studio;
2. Form1 will be automatically created;
3. Drag and drop a few test controls on Form1;
4. Replace Form1's code behind with the following code (note: there are two custom classes ControlResizer and FormControlsResizer - they can be put in separate source file(s)?):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
// define non-zero values for the following designWidth and designHeight variables 
// equal to the form's design time width and height only
// in the case if run-time system resolution could have less width and/or height
// dimensions than design time form's width and height
int designWidth = 800;
int designHeight = 600;
if (designWidth != this.Width || designHeight != this.Height)
{
// activate resizing functionality only when run-time's form instance actual width and height 
// have less width and/or height dimensions than design time form's width and height
_resizer = new FormControlsResizer(this, designWidth, designHeight);
}
}
private FormControlsResizer _resizer;
}

Dan,

I built reports in .Net when I was employed full time, but we used a suite
of 3rd party tools, so I haven't really worked with the built in tools
much.  Just trying to rewrap my head around them.

Hi All,
Now that the group is VS oriented, it is good to be back after all these years. Not sure how much I can contribute, will try as best I can.
BOOK Question:
I'm starting to convert a very large VS2003 (almost all VB) program to VS/VB2010. I've done some work with 2010 but could use a good reference or two.? I know 2015 is coming out the door, but I have to use what the client has... Need something on VB2003 to 2010 changes and additions and on using VS 2010 features e.g. project builder/publish (.msi), etc.

All replies are welcome.

Hello Charles

Welcome back.  Nice to see your name pop up.

I would suggest looking around on eBay for second hand books for a euro or
two, you may pick them up easily.

How is your truck - still going strong I hope.

Thanks again for your presentation on set theory, it has served me well
over the last 15 years.

Message-ID: <495609221.250649.1428285055141.JavaMail.yahoo@mail.yahoo.com>

Hi All,
The system I am working on uses MS Access as the data repository, which is related to part of the following.?
There is a problem of Windows, or VS run time, not closing and releasing an ACCESS file when a VS program says to close it in a timely manner so that the next effort to access the database from within VB says it does not exist or is in use by another user. Anyone found a good solution to this? Doing a dispose and finalize does not necessarily seem to work at speeding things up or freeing the database "quickly". I've had it take up to 20 minutes on an XP system with VB2003!

 Maybe related to the preceding: Has anyone had problems using VB to create a folder and copy a file or 2 to it, and then when trying to access the folder or one of the files from within the program found that Windows does not think it (they) exist? This seems to be a Windows timing problem but I'm not sure.? Eventually the folder and its content does appear; but it confuses the user to get a "does not exist" message within seconds of having the program create the folder, etc. The user creates a "project" data base, then tries to define a "sample" within the database (a single entry in one of the tables), it sometimes takes 2 tries to get the sample defined, the first time, the "database does not exist" 'error' happens.

?Try checking for the existence of a lock table (.ldb or .lccdb) to see if
the system still thinks the file is in use.  Sometimes that lock file will
persist when it shouldn't, so you could try deleting it in code.  If the
delete succeeds, you should be able to copy the file.

Hi Jim

Well - to quote the very first paragraph:

<quote>
Node.js Tools 1.0 for Visual Studio (NTVS) is now available for download! NTVS is a free, open source extension for Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2013 that turns Visual Studio into a Node.js IDE. NTVS 1.0 supports the free Visual Studio Community and Visual Studio Express for Web editions, as well as Visual Studio Professional and higher.
</quote>

So before spending money, I would see what VS Community Edition + NTVS could do for me.

Thanks for all the nice links.

Hi Gustav:

About time...:-)

There is of course one of the best JS/NodeJS editors for $99.00 called Webstorm: http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm
...and then the editor which is claimed to be the best JS/NodeJS, with a full debugger, in the business, Komodo at $245.00:
http://komodoide.com

Then a full Cloud based JS/NodeJS editor and debugging environment, costing from $9.00 to $79.99  https://c9.io/web/site/pricing
Sublime text editor is definitely one of the best all around editors, at $70.00: http://www.sublimetext.com

PS How much does VS extra NodeJS feature cost?

Hi all

Note that VS now also seems to be prominent tool for node.js:

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2015/03/25/node-js-tools-1-0-for-visual-studio.aspx

I must admit that I haven't paid much attention to node.js but I will now.

Anders Hejlsberg used it exclusively as the local server during his presentation. It was amazing what a few lines of code could do.

Emne: [dba-VS] TypeScript

Hi all

Today I attended a lecture by Anders Hejlsberg - you know, the man behind Turbo Pascal, Delphi, C#, and now TypeScript. A free event not to miss.

Code-wise it was a beginner's course, which felt a bit strange, but - as you can imagine - he quickly managed to give it a much broader perspective and, indeed, a good understanding of the background for "why TypeScript?".

Very inspiring, and should you be in doubt, this is hot. I should add, that if you today program in Javascript (I see all hands) you should at once turn to TypeScript. The well-known arguments - which he brightly demonstrated the value of - are classes, strong typing, and - because of the strong typing - IntelliSense. Even then it compiles to pure non-expanded Javascript. It is so clever:

http://www.typescriptlang.org/

It is open-source and expanding at high speed:

https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/

In addition to Visual Studio, a range of other editors are at hand. For much of the demo he used Sublime Text:

http://www.sublimetext.com/

which has the special feature that it can show - in real time a split-pane window with TypeScript at left and the resulting Javascript at right. It is not free but worth considering at USD 70 if you plan to typescript a lot. It runs on all relevant platforms.

Dan,

I built reports in .Net when I was employed full time, but we used a suite of 3rd party tools, so I haven't really worked with the built in tools much.  Just trying to rewrap my head around them.

 Hi All --

JFYI: Today I've got VS 2012 constantly crashing while just typing some simple code as the following:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

...

sb.Append("Test");

s

Yes, when typing lowercase letter 's' I'm getting VS2012 crashing time after time (after restart).?

Reboot, installing updates, clearing solution, rebuilding, removing .suo ?etc.etc. - nothing helps.

Bad day?

It looks it somehow related to Intellisense...

 Well, I have finally got desperate with VS2012 constant crashing and I have left for the swimming pool.
When back home in a couple of hours I have found that we have got a black-out.
After a beer with junky potato chips and a good salad accompanied by candle lights the black-out solution has "automagically" come, and I have made another try to solve VS 2012 constant crashing issue - I have got updated Visual Studio Developer Assitant:

https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/a1166718-a2d9-4a48-a5fd-504ff4ad1b65

and voila' VS 2012 works now fluently... :)

Thank you.

Hi Shamil

Interesting. How did a beer and goodies bring you the idea that this extensions was the cure for your troubles? It seems to add features, not address issues.

It seems like a must-have, by the way, so thanks for the link.

 Well, I have finally got desperate with VS2012 constant crashing and I have left for the swimming pool.
When back home in a couple of hours I have found that we have got a black-out.
After a beer with junky potato chips and a good salad accompanied by candle lights the black-out solution has "automagically" come, and I have made another try to solve VS 2012 constant crashing issue - I have got updated Visual Studio Developer Assitant:

https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/a1166718-a2d9-4a48-a5fd-504ff4ad1b65

and voila' VS 2012 works now fluently... :)

Thank you.

 Hi Gustav --

I have noticed in my first posting that I have thought that the issue with VS2012 constant crashing was somehow caused by Intellisense: I suppose that swimming pool, beer and goodies relaxed me and forwarded me to check all the possible causes - and it happened that the Developer Assistant Add-in was the first one I have checked.

Resume: Beer and goodies are the best forces/source to drive a developer intuition - they wouldn't probably make your coding more efficient as they relax you but they would definitely help you to solve tough VS 2012 IDE issues :)

Yes, this add-in is helpful, especially if one is starting to work with Visual Studio.

 Hi Gustav --

I should have noted that the Developer Assistant Add-In is a kind of ?an "Intellisense Features Extender" Add-In ?- this is why it was the first "suspect" as I don't have any other Add-Ins like that installed.

Hi Shamil

Ah. That makes sense.

I think we all have experienced what a break can do if you feel stuck on an issue. Indeed if it involves a beer and some physical activity.

Subject: [dba-VS] Problem saving data in an Access database
Message-ID: <1976129107.4900544.1430116083070.JavaMail.yahoo@mail.yahoo.com>

Hi All,
I'm using VB.Net 2003 and an ACCESS backend.? This description may have more information than is needed to answer my question. 

I have a Windows form that extracts a subset of rows from a "specimen" details table and then attempts to save that subset of rows under a new key. This comes about because researchers sometimes digitize multiple structures as a complex whole then later want to extract one of the component structures and analyze it by itself. This creates a new "specimen" or "case".? These are all defined as part of a Project database. There are multiple databases, one per project. The program keeps track of the projects and their disk locations.

The program has no problem saving the attributes of this new case to an attributes table or adding this new specimen to its "group"or "sample"? table. However, when it is time to save the new set of inserted rows contained in a data table of identical structure to the one the rows should be added to, it does not save any of the new rows in the specimen details table. 

Any and all ideas are welcome. I've been looking at this off and on for 2 weeks and have had no luck. There is no problem adding rows thru other operations that perform similar manipulations of the digitized data. All the additions to the digitized data table go thru the same worker class's code so it is not a coding error on this one form. I've had the worker class routine "dump" the temporary table's rows to a log file, and it shows they are all there.

Here is the code with unrelated details omitted. Always gives the message: Specimen KEYVALUE: 0 Rows Inserted/Added. This implies it know there are rows to add, but does not add them. Otherwise, the message would be "No Rows To Insert/Add. It never throws an exception and I have no idea as to what happened to the rows. Looking at the table shows that they are not in the table..

????? UpdatedRows = SpecimenDataSet.GetChanges(DataRowState.Modified)
????? InsertedRows = SpecimenDataSet.GetChanges(DataRowState.Added)
????? DeletedRows = SpecimenDataSet.GetChanges(DataRowState.Deleted)
????? digitizedDA.ContinueUpdateOnError = True
??? 
????? Try
??????? ?? If (Not (InsertedRows) Is Nothing) Then?? 'Insert the new rows
??????????? ????numpts = digitizedDA.Update(InsertedRows, MyDatTable)
?????????? ???? MLmetricsLog.WriteLog("[cls_SpecimenSaveDetail?? ] >> Specimen? " & ????????????????????????g_lngActiveSpecimenKey.ToString & _
??????????????????? ? ?? ": " & numpts.ToString & " Rows Inserted/Added.")
???????? Else
?????????????? MLmetricsLog.WriteLog("[cls_SpecimenSaveDetail?? ] >> Specimen? " & ????????????????????g_lngActiveSpecimenKey.ToString & _
???????????????????? ": There were No Rows To Insert/Add.")
??????????? numpts = -1????? 'Need some value to show "error"
???????? End If
? ? Catch ex as exception????????(Error handler code)
?? End Try
Again, all ideas, suggestions welcome.

Hi all

Apropos:

There is a free course at 6 x 3-4 hours on TypeScript on-line at edX by the two highly qualified instructors Dan Wahlin and Anders Hejlsberg (lead architect of C# and core developer on TypeScript in case you are not aware):

    https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-typescript-microsoft-dev201x#!

Seems like a chance not to miss if you are new to or only have touched TypeScript.

Hi all

Today I attended a lecture by Anders Hejlsberg - you know, the man behind Turbo Pascal, Delphi, C#, and now TypeScript. A free event not to miss.

Code-wise it was a beginner's course, which felt a bit strange, but - as you can imagine - he quickly managed to give it a much broader perspective and, indeed, a good understanding of the background for "why TypeScript?".

Very inspiring, and should you be in doubt, this is hot. I should add, that if you today program in Javascript (I see all hands) you should at once turn to TypeScript. The well-known arguments - which he brightly demonstrated the value of - are classes, strong typing, and - because of the strong typing - IntelliSense. Even then it compiles to pure non-expanded Javascript. It is so clever:

http://www.typescriptlang.org/

It is open-source and expanding at high speed:

https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/

In addition to Visual Studio, a range of other editors are at hand. For much of the demo he used Sublime Text:

http://www.sublimetext.com/

which has the special feature that it can show - in real time a split-pane window with TypeScript at left and the resulting Javascript at right. It is not free but worth considering at USD 70 if you plan to typescript a lot. It runs on all relevant platforms.

Gustav,

I too am taking the course. And thanks for the link to SublimeText. I just
installed it on two physical boxes, running Windows 8.1 and Debian 14 on
the other, plus one VM running Ubuntu. and VoltDB.

I haven't completed the course yet, but am sure liking what I've seen so
far.

Hi all

Today I attended a lecture by Anders Hejlsberg - you know, the man behind Turbo Pascal, Delphi, C#, and now TypeScript. A free event not to miss.

Code-wise it was a beginner's course, which felt a bit strange, but - as you can imagine - he quickly managed to give it a much broader perspective and, indeed, a good understanding of the background for "why TypeScript?".

Very inspiring, and should you be in doubt, this is hot. I should add, that if you today program in Javascript (I see all hands) you should at once turn to TypeScript. The well-known arguments - which he brightly demonstrated the value of - are classes, strong typing, and - because of the strong typing - IntelliSense. Even then it compiles to pure non-expanded Javascript. It is so clever:

http://www.typescriptlang.org/

It is open-source and expanding at high speed:

https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/

In addition to Visual Studio, a range of other editors are at hand. For much of the demo he used Sublime Text:

http://www.sublimetext.com/

which has the special feature that it can show - in real time a split-pane window with TypeScript at left and the resulting Javascript at right. It is not free but worth considering at USD 70 if you plan to typescript a lot. It runs on all relevant platforms.

Hi Gustav:

PS: Note, according the the lecture series, the start date is March 31, 2015...but I am sure it is an online podcast.

Hi all

Apropos:

There is a free course at 6 x 3-4 hours on TypeScript on-line at edX by the two highly qualified instructors Dan Wahlin and Anders Hejlsberg (lead architect of C# and core developer on TypeScript in case you are not aware):

    https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-typescript-microsoft-dev201x#!

Seems like a chance not to miss if you are new to or only have touched TypeScript.

Yup, I'm behind a lesson or two but catching up. It's important that you do
the homework, though. But I sort of like the pressure!

This is a well-done 5 minute video describing updates in VB for 2015.
