Visual Studio Code first impressions
This morning, Microsoft made a surprise announcement (or two): a new cross-platform code editor named Visual Studio Code. It runs on Mac, Linux, and of course Windows. It’s lean, fast, it has IntelliSense, supports multiple languages and dev platforms, has debugging and git built-in. You can get it from the following link:

Some asynchronous JavaScript weirdness
I feel a little silly about the time it took me to find that bug, but it’s a fairly typical one, so it’s worth sharing. While writing a test case for an asynchronous operation, execution of my code would seemingly magically skip over a whole bit of code and jump directly to the assertions at the end of my test case. It looked really bizarre, as if JavaScript didn’t want to run my test code, and I suspected a bug in the debugger for a brief moment. Of course, that was just me not spotting the obvious bug I had written a few minutes earlier. But let me show you some simplified code that demonstrates the issue...

jQuery IntelliSense documentation file available
IntelliSense documentation files for jQuery just got published on jquery.com. This enables great IntelliSense at design-time for jQuery in Visual Studio 2008. It goes without saying that this file should only be used at design-time and never at runtime.

The format for JavaScript doc comments
Xml documentation annotations are going to drive JavaScript IntelliSense in Visual Studio Orcas (the next version of Visual Studio). For more than a year now, we've been including xml doc comments to all public APIs in the Microsoft Ajax Library (which are a great place to check out some examples of those comments). We also use the doc comments to automatically generate parameter validation code in the debug version of our scripts.
