Well although this is only the preview of the VB version we promised that the C# version will be here soon.
Besides a cleaner, cooler look they say you’ll find navigation easier
According to Hanselman (from his blog):
New MSDN - Why?
To be clear, this is more than a “visual refresh.” Sure, there’s a new design and it’s pretty, but this is more about UX (User Experience) than it is about swapping out icons. We’ve got 5 main goals as a team to enable you, Dear Reader:
- HELP ME - I’ve got a problem. What’s the answer, quickly and accurately.
- CONNECT ME TO PEOPLE - There’s other people like me, connect me to them, and to the product group.
- GET ME THE DOWNLOAD I NEED - Get out of my way, I just want a download. Bits, Scripts, Utils, Code, etc.
- CONNECT ME TO THE PRODUCT - What’s new with Product X? I’ve got feedback and I want to be heard.
- KEEP ME SMART - I’m looking to sharpen the saw.
Our goals are to be transparent and authentic. I think you’ve seen that on this blog since day 0, and hopefully in the last two years after I joined Microsoft. The web continues to evolve and we want an MSDN that better reflects a focus on community, on fresh content, and on making things easier to find.
