In the keynote address at the Visual Studio 2012 launch, Soma Somasegar, Microsoft's corporate vice president of the Developer Division, noted there were 600,000 downloads of Visual Studio 2012. With that said, there's no doubt that the big draw to Visual Studio 2012 is the ability to build Windows 8 applications. Team development capabilities make Visual Studio 2012 a unified Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solution. Built-in test tools help you create high-quality applications and bridge the gap between IT and developers. Microsoft's latest release of its flagship development product, Visual Studio 2012, addresses the need to build a wide range of applications as well as embraces agile development methodologies. They expect applications to be simpler and to run on a wide variety of devices. Users have changing expectations of applications. In the past couple of years, building modern applications has been substantially more difficult because of the growing consumerization of IT.
