JS Intellisense in Orcas

It’s finally here!!

JavaScript intellisense is available in the March 2007 CTP of Orcas (the next Visual Studio). It works well with plain old JavaScript, but it really shines with ASP.NET AJAX.

Jeff King does a good job of documenting the new capabilities in this blog entry.

For us ASP.NET Server Control developers that utilize client capabilities, this is a huge boon for us. When was the last time JS intellisense was updated?? Anybody? I have no idea… I don’t think it’s changed since the first release of Visual Studio. Having to program ASP.NET AJAX client runtimes with intellisense … AWESOME!!!

Also, I mentioned an excellent article in my webcast that describes the prototype/closure model. I finally found it… here it is.

IMHO, it’s the single best article that describes closures available.
