Microsoft will launch Visual Studio 2017 on 07 March 2017 with Two Day Live Streamed Event

The next iteration of Microsoft's Visual Studio, the 2017 edition, will be made generally available on the 7th of March and Microsoft is planning a two day online event to bring developers up to speed on the new software.

This launch event also coincides with the 20th Anniversary of the software, which was launched back in 1997 as Visual Studio 97.

The software has certainly grown a lot over those 20 years according to Julia Liuson one of the original software engineers on the development team for VS97 who is now the Corporate VP for Visual Studio.

You can register for the Visual Studio 2017 launch event here and even get involved by sharing your own Visual Studio story with Microsoft on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.

The two day live launch event will begin at 8 AM Pacific Standard Time on March 7th and will include introductions to the new features and capabilities in Visual Studio 2017 and its integration with services like .NET, Xamarin, and Azure. That will be followed by Microsoft engineers who will provide interactive demo sessions to help you take advantage of all those new capabilities.

Day 2 of the event will consist of more interactive training on the software by Microsoft engineers.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
