Chris Flaat says to check out the new blurb on MsBuild, “which is what we're calling our cool new build engine that will ship along with Whidbey.” Whoa! The abstract says
Introducing MSBuild: The Universal Build Engine for Visual Studio "Whidbey" and “Longhorn"
Track: Tools and Languages Code: TLS347 Speakers: Alex Kipman, Rajeev Goel MSBuild is the next generation build engine that delivers scalability and flexibility for the entire range of build scenarios, from the basics to complex build-lab scenarios. Drill into the capabilities of this universal build engine for Visual Studio "Whidbey" and the "Longhorn" operating system--from its XML-based persistence model and human-readable file format, to its ability to assist in the creation of build steps and processes for Visual Studio projects.
To say that this is an important and much needed engine/tool is an understatement. Are you excited about PDC yet??
